Kings announce 1st quarter CCM Hockey performer award recipients
THUNDER BAY – The Thunder Bay Kings announced Thursday their initial CCM Hockey quarterly performer award recipients for the 2016-17 season.
Earning the accolades for their contributions from each of the four Kings teams is as follows:
CO-MAJOR MIDGET –GARRETT GAMMOND & ROBERT TYSKA: The pair are both forwards on the major midget Kings.
The 17-year-old Gammond is in his second season with the under-18 side and is third on the squad in scoring in the North American Prospects Hockey League with a pair of goals and four assists to his credit through nine outings.
In his first three Lakehead Junior Hockey League contests, he has scored in each of them, including providing one game-winner.
As for Tyska, he spent the 2015-16 campaign with the organization’s minor midget club.
He has a pair of tallies and helped set-up another through his first nine NAPHL affairs.
Tyska has also skated in each of the Kings first four LJHL games to date and has two tallies to his credit.
He has also been an Honour Roll student all through high school.
MINOR MIDGET – KEIGHAN GERRIE: The 15-year-old forward has made the jump to minor midget after a strong season last year with the bantam Kings.
Gerrie has led the way offensively for Thunder Bay in NAPHL play to date.
He is averaging a point-per-game with nine through as many match-ups by providing two markers and seven helpers along the way.
Gerrie started the 2016-17 NAPHL season with a seven-game point streak.
BANTAM – MACKENZIE SEDGWICK: A solid two-way forward, the 14-year-old Sedgwick has impressed with the bantam Kings a quarter of the way through the campaign.
Last season while with the Neebing Hawks, he was named the best defensive forward in the bantam AA division in Thunder Bay Minor Hockey Association play.
Sedgwick also garnered TBMHA bantam AA all-star game most valuable player honours.
PEEWEE – JETT MINTENKO: Now in his second campaign with the peewee Kings, the 12-year-old Mintenko continues to lead his team in many facets of the game.
He’s coming off a four-goal, one-assist performance last month helping his side sweep a four-game set in Minnesota.
The forward is one of two returning players from last year’s squad that captured the Hockey Northwestern Ontario district crown and went on to compete at the peewee provincial championship in Sudbury.
