"The winner of the Eddie Mountain, Regular Season Rookie of the Year was," came booming over the pa system at the Kimberley Civic Centre on Friday February 23rd, "Number 10, Brock Palmer! Brock has had an amazing year with the Dynamiters, finishing first for his team and 12th overall in the KIJHL with a total of 58 points!"
Palmer was presented with the award by KIJHL Vice President Kathy Merkl.
"It's awesome." Palmer said, adding that it is the great that the league is recognizing him. "It's very rewarding."
Palmer credits his success to his linemates and his teammates.
"I'm going to sound biased here," head coach and general manager Derek Stuart said. "That's a no-brainer with the season he had.
"For an 18 year old to come into a league that he is unfamiliar with, and in a league with not many smaller guys have success, especially once teams get to know you, he just kept on producing points and playing well."
Palmer expressed a lot of gratitude, "I want to say thank you to everyone that helped me out," he said, "especially Derek Stuart, he has been awesome this year and has definitely helped me out."
