"The winner of the Eddie Mountain, Regular Season, Top Defenseman was #40 Brett Roberts!" Announced during Friday February 23rd home game. "Brett made a huge difference on and off the ice while also leading his team to a first place finish in the league."
Roberts was presented with the award at centre ice by KIJHL Vice President Kathy Merkl.
"Its a huge honour," Roberts said, "I've faced a lot of adversity this year with injuries and other things so it's nice to see all the hard work pay off."
"Brett had an outstanding year, especially after Christmas." Head coach and general manager Derek Stuart said. "He got a lot better once he was comfortable with the team and being the captain, the leader of the team. Once that all became comfortable with him, he had a hell of a season. It was nice to see Brett rewarded for a great season in his 20 yearold year."
For Roberts, he knows his success would not have come without the team, "I think a lot of my success has come because of my teammates, our D-core was strong all year and I think we all helped each other stay focused on achieving our goals."
