Over a point a game and leading the league with 6 game winning goals this young man is a lock to be in the discussion for the end of year awards.
From the Minnesota Dockheads, Right Wing Rawley Boney - The first round selection in Minnesota Boney has lived up to the hype for sure. With 40 points in 34 games he has almost doubled the teams second leading scorer. It’s clear that he is the one that makes this team go offensively.
From the Rochester NorthStars, Right Wing Derrell Hults - Hults leads the North Stars in goals and assists at this point. He is a fan favorite in Rochester and for good reason. At just 26 years old he continues to get better and should be a fixture here for Rochester.
From the Miami Trident, Right Wing Marc-Andre Larochelle - Larochelle has surprised in Miami as an unheralded rookie he’s quickly become the clubs go to performer on the ice. Logging top line minutes over his older teammates and making the most of his opportunity. Miami found a gem here.

From the San Francisco Orcas, Left Wing Aston Critchley - Critchley is a power play specialist leading the Orcas in points on the advantage. He’s been in the mix for more than half the teams tallies on the power play. A natural scorer but even more deals when his team is up.
From the Atlanta Royals, Left Wing Anton Vekselberg - Vekselberg is a gifted playmaker getting two assists for every goal he scores himself. With outstanding skating and a great ability to control the puck he’s the kind of guy that makes lines successful.

Defense -
From the Las Vegas High Rollers, Defenseman Rhyse Andison - Andison may end the season leading all blue liners in scoring. With 30 points and a +13 rating already he will be a favorite for some year end awards.
From the Memphis Blues, Defenseman Ikki Miyamae - The Blues got a good one in Miyamae. Fast, smart ,responsible with the puck and logging over 23 minutes per game. This young man is a prototype for what all teams want in a defenseman.
From the Las Vegas High Rollers, Defenseman Glynn Simpson - Simpson is a very smart player, always positioned well and making the right reads. He keeps his club out of bad situations and is just outstanding getting the breakout going. He won’t light up the scoreboard but you probably won’t light it either when he’s on the ice.
From the Port City Privateers, Defenseman Chris Touhey - With 10 assists and a +11 rating he’s the kind of blue liner every team wants. More than just helpful in the offensive zone but always with a focus on his defensive responsibilities.
From the St Paul Razorbacks, Defenseman Montgomery Faulkner - Faulkner is a classic defenseman. Good skating, smart moving the puck and loves to make opponents pay for every inch of real estate in the zone.
From the Minnesota Dockheads, Defenseman Harper Frick - Frick just eats up ice time for Minnesota. Not the biggest, not the fastest but always ready to go over the boards and give you another quality shift. At just 25 years old we are looking at a guy who will continue to grow which is scary considering the player he already is.
Goalie -
From the St Paul Razorbacks, Goalie Barron Dowler - No surprise here seeing this 20 year olds name. He leads the conference in wins and goals against average and sits near the top in save percentage. St Paul hit the lottery with this kid. He’ll be a fan favorite for a long time.
From the Minnesota Dockheads, Goalie Cooper Fornataro - Fornataro is a goalie every team would love to have. 15 Wins already with a save percentage among the best in the league. He has outperformed almost every net minder in the league so far.
This team will be led by Noah Dawson GM Atlanta Royals
