The BCHL team handed out its annual awards for the 2022-23 season, beginning with Most Improved, Dylan Brooks.

Hailing from Chilliwack, the defenceman became a leader on the team in his third season, dressing for 39 games, a career high.

Rookie of the Year went to Ben MacDonald, who posted 50 points in 52 games in his first year, and is committed to play at Harvard next season. MacDonald also took home the team香蕉视频直播檚 Academic Award.
