Advertising Opportunities

The season is over, the regular part of it anyway, which means the awards from both the teams and the league are coming fast and furious. You might even forget there was a week's worth of games in all of this. So we'll take a quick look at the last few regular season games before we get to things like new franchise records and all those awards.

Final Figures: As expected, the AHL beat the four-million marker for the first time and also posted the best average attendance in its history. Overall attendance is up almost 60% from five years ago. The Philadelphia Phantoms averaged 11,809, to top the old Boston Braves numbers and had 23 games with attendance in five digits. Kentucky and Hartford also averaged over 7,000 per game.

Century Mark: The Philadelphia Phantoms' Peter White is now the fourth AHL player to have 100 points or better in three different seasons, the last two back-to-back. White is also the fourth player to win the scoring title in back-to-back years and only the second player to win three scoring titles in the AHL, Bill Sweeney being the other. White had 105 points for the Cape Breton Oilers in 95-96 and 105 points for the Phantoms last season; this time he had 105 points. Go figure?

Forget It: That's what the U.S. Bankruptcy Court said about Joseph O'Hara's plans to purchase 40 shares of new stock and 74 shares of old stock in the Albany River Rats. The Court adjudged the 74 shares held by Albert Lawrence were still his and not for sale until such time as the Court orders it, therefore O'Hara can't buy them at this time. O'Hara had stated he wasn't interested in the 40 new shares if he couldn't get control of the team. So the shares will be sold to Walter Robb after all, raising the money to pay off the New Jersey Devils. Another 60 new shares will be placed up for sale shortly to dispense with some of the team's other debts. The longterm fate of the team is still largely up to the Court.

Waltzing Matilda: The affiliation dance isn't quite as exciting as it has been in some years, but there are some stirrings in addition to the Panthers' aborted attempt to place a team in Louisville. Because the Louisville just didn't work out in time, the Panthers are expected to seek a partial affiliation somewhere in the AHL or IHL; while the Panthers and Hurricanes get along fine in New Haven, there simply isn't enough room for everyone. The same problem is happening in Adirondack, where Detroit is debating whether to bother having a farm team and Tampa is bemoaning the lack of playing time their players are receiving. If no compromise can be reached the Lightning may bolt for the IHL, not good for their youngsters. Kentucky may be seeking an additional affiliation for next season; they've re-upped for the next three years with San Jose, but the departure of the Islanders will leave several slots open. Lastly, the Hershey Bears are toying with the idea of taking on a second affiliation. Colorado took but never gave this season and the Bears spent much of the season and much of their money buying players from other leagues, a circumstance they'd prefer not to repeat. Ottawa is mentioned frequently, but the Senators are pleased with their situation in Worcester. Chicago and Dallas are also speaking with Hershey. All in all, don't expect anything earth-shaking to occur.

F-F-F-F-Fashion: Huh? Why would fashion be mentioned here? Because former Albany River Rat Sheldon Souray somehow finagled himself a gig with the E! television program VIDEOFASHION! to cover the 'Men's Fall Collection' show in New York as a commentator. Really. Souray, who started the season in Albany before finishing it in New Jersey, can be seen on the show for two weeks running from April 11-25.

Kentucky's Alexei Yegorov appeared in the first 79 but missed the season finale with the flu.

Michal Handzus by Tricia McMillan

Player of the Week (Apr. 5): It's been over three years and 89 weeks since a member of the Worcester IceCats won the POTW, and that's the only other time it's happened. (Think you know who? Answer coming up.) But the IceCats finally managed another winner in the person of, who else, super-rookie center Michal Handzus. The 21-year-old Slovak had three goals and three assists in three games, including a four-point night against Providence, as Worcester won all three games. He leads the team in scoring and has also set a franchise record for rookie goals, with 27. Handzus was also the Rookie of the Game at the AHL All-Star Game. And Worcester goalie Wayne Cowley is the only other IceCat to win it, in February 1995.

Player of the Week (Apr. 12): Herbert Vasiljevs was the second Beast named the POTW and the second one to be forgotten amidst league-wide hoopla. Ryan Johnson was overshadowed by the All-Star Game and Vasiljevs had to take a backseat to the playoffs. Still, the German-born Canadian had an eight point week, with five goals and three assists in New Haven's four games to include a four-goal night against playoff rival Hartford. Vasiljevs led the Beast in goal-scoring for the season and was third in overall points for the team.

Insurance Player for April: One of the AHL's iron men received extra recognition, but for another accomplishment. Philadelphia Phantom blueliner Dave MacIsaac posted a +8 rating in the Phantoms' six games in April to win the final monthly Insurance Player Award. MacIsaac had four assists during April and finished the season with a +22 rating, good but not good enough for the overall award. Adirondack's Stacy Roest and Albany's Bryan Helmer tied for second with +7 ratings.

Rookie of the Month (March): After a sterling performance in last season's playoffs, the AHL looked to be a breeze for Hershey's Marc Denis. It was more like a hurricane the first half of the season, but Denis weathered it to be the AHL's best rookie in March. Denis went 7-1-1, with a 1.59 GAA and a save percentage of .942 during March to include his first professional shutout when the Bears pasted Kentucky 6-0 on March 22. His only loss of the month came in overtime. And after an atrocious first half, Denis now ranks in the top ten goaltenders.

Rookie of the Month (April): Player of the Week wasn't enough so he went for Rookie of the Month. Worcester's Michal Handzus was named the top rookie for his seven points in four games, including his four-pointer against Providence April 5. Handzus led the IceCats in scoring and finished fourth overall in rookie scoring with 63 points. He also set a franchise record for rookie goal scoring, with 27.

Goaltender of the Month (March): Portland's Martin Brochu has been just smoking the last couple of months and especially in March, earning him the nod. Brochu played in seven games in March, going 5-1-0 with 1.32 GAA and a save percentage of .955. He stopped 29 shots to shutout Providence and missed another over Fredericton by seconds, stopping 46 of 47 shots March 7. Brochu was originally a member of the Canadiens, who dumped him on Washington only to see him turn into the baby Habs' worst nightmare.

Goaltender of the Month (April): This time an award goes to a guy who spent nearly the whole season in the IHL. Todd MacDonald was sent to the I by the Florida Panthers as they saw him receiving no playing time behind Mike Fountain; Fountain went up, MacDonald went to New Haven and now the rest will be history. MacDonald played in six games in April, going 4-1-1 with a 1.48 GAA and a .950 save percentage. He also shut out the Providence Bruins (who hasn't) on 32 shots and finished the season with a 2.28 GAA and .929 save percentage, both of which would have led the AHL had MacDonald appeared in enough games to qualify.

Teams: Most of the teams gave out their own awards, whether they be chosen by players, media, booster clubs, local busineses or fan voting. Those teams that made their results available one way or another are listed below.

Adirondack: From the Booster Club, the High Scorer Award and 110% Awards went to, big surprise, Stacey Roest. The Defensive Player of the Year was rookie Maxim Kuznetsov, while Norm Maracle left with the Three Star Award. The Seventh Man/Unsung Hero Award for both playing and community work went to BJ Young.

Albany: The River Rats Booster Club gave out the awards, primarily for various achievements during the season like making the All-Star team, setting a franchise record or scoring a hat trick. Bryan Helmer was named Most 'Offensive' Defenseman and the Favorite Player, while John Madden was the Most Improved Player and the Unsung Hero. Albany also gave out the 'Rat's Ass' Award, to referee Blaine Angus. Use your imagination.

Fredericton: Jose Theodore picked up the biggies, both MVP and Performer of the Year. Terry Ryan was the Rookie of the Year, Brad Brown the Most Improved Player, Miroslav Guren the top Defenseman, Jonathan Delisle the Unsung Hero, Eric Houde was both the Top Scorer and Most Sportsmanlike, and Earl Cronan was recognized for community work. Note: no Kings prospect received diddly squat.

Hartford: The captain took home the hardware, as Ken Gernander received the MVP award. Marc Savard was top rookie, Todd Hall was the best defensive forward (not surprising considering he's a converted defenseman), Chris Winnes was the 'Seventh Player' and Brent Thompson was both the best defenseman and the community service winner.

Hershey: Christian Matte was named the MVP and Rob Shearer was the Most Improved Player. Other than that, Mike Gaul never left the awards table, picking up the Hershey Hockey Nuts Defenseman of the Year award (from Section 25), Rookie of the Year (from the off-ice officials), Plus/Minus Winner (from the press) and Unsung Hero from the Booster Club, although he did have to play the game to determine whether he or Ville Niemenen was the best plus/minus player.

New Haven: Ryan Johnson was named the All-Star of the Year based upon number of times named in the Three Stars announcement. He shared the local business-sponsored Andy Paris Sportsmanship Award with Jeff Daniels, and John Jakopin was named Rookie of the Year by fan voting.

Jamie Heward by Tricia McMillan

Philadelphia: The Phantoms had a few interesting ones, including an incorrectly noted award. The Barry Ashbee award was listed for dedication but was instead for best defenseman and went to Jamie Heward. Shawn McCosh was named Most Coachable Player, while Brian Wesenberg was Rookie of the Year. Paul Healey was the Most Consistent Player, Jeff Staples took the Community Service Award and somewhat surprisingly the Fans Choice Award was given to Neil Little.

Portland: The fans did the honors for the Pirates, voting Ryan Mulhern the Most Valuable Player, Kevin Kaminski Most Popular Player and Steve Poapst the Unsung Hero. The players themselves voted on the Player's Player Award and handed it to Benoit Gratton. The Ebright Award, formerly the President's Award, went to Trevor Halvorson. Kaminski also received the Booster Club's Mary Dulac Award and Gratton was also honored with the Jack Button Award as the Capitals' top prospect.

Providence: The P-Bruins do their own awards, and most of them went to Jean-Yves Roy, who was named the MVP, Leading Scorer and Three Stars Champion. Barry Richter was the best defenseman, John Grahame was Rookie of the Year and the Booster Club gave the Community Service award to Aaron Downey.

Rochester: The players themselves did most of the voting in Rochester and they selected Martin Biron as Rookie of the Year and Matt Davidson as the Most Improved Player. They also chose Craig Charron as their MVP, and local businesses also gave Charron nods as the seventh player and for sportsmanship. The AHL also recognized Charron for sportsmanship.

Saint John: Goaltender Tyler Moss was named the MVP by his teammates, then promptly hauled J-S Giguere to the podium to share it with him. Giguere received the Booster Club award of excellence and was also named Rookie of the Year. Blueliner Ryan Bast was named the plus-minus winner and the Defenseman of the Year. Clarke Wilm was voted Unsung Hero by his teammates and Jeff Cowan won of the City of Saint John Community Service Award. The statistical awards went to top scorer Ladislav Kohn and frequent 'star' Hnat Domenichelli.

Tyler Moss by Tricia McMillan

St. John's: Goaltender Marcel Cousineau was named the MVP and also received the Molson Cup for most appearances in the three-star balloting. Mark Deyell took home the Leading Scorer and Plus-Minus Awards, and Daniil Markov won both Defenseman and Rookie of the Year in absentia. The Players' Choice was for Nathan Dempsey, the Sportsmanship and Dedication award to Aaron Brand. Brand also shared the Community Service Award with Todd Gillingham, who in turn shared the Booster Club Player of the Year Award with Greg Smyth.

All-Star Teams

First Team                  Second Team
Scott Langkow, Springfield         Rich Shulmistra, Albany/
                                   Norm Maracle, Adirondack

Daniel Briere, Springfield         Steve Guolla, Kentucky
Craig Darby, Philadelphia          Sean Haggerty, Kentucky

Yes, you saw right. Philadelphia's Peter White won the scoring title and didn't even make the second All-Star Team. Pass the smelling salts.

Rookie All-Star Team
Jean-Sebastien Giguere, Saint John Flames
Zdeno Chara, Kentucky Thoroughblades
Mike Gaul, Hershey Bears
Daniel Briere, Springfield Falcons
Brendan Morrison, Albany River Rats
Marc Savard, Hartford Wolf Pack

Insurance Player of the Year: Albany River Rats rookie John Madden was in the hunt all season and in the end just managed to edge Saint John's Ryan Bast, finishing at +35 for 74 games. Madden also won the monthly edition of the award in January, with a +13. It didn't hurt Madden to be playing with the same guy he'd been teamed with the past four years, as Madden joined Brendan Morrison as Wolverines turned Rats. Madden was fourth in River Rat scoring with 56 points, which was also good enough for seventh among AHL rookies.

Jean-Sebastien Giguere by Tricia McMillan

The Harry 'Hap' Holmes Trophy: The AHL's answer to the Jennings Trophy is the Holmes, given to the team whose goaltenders post the lowest goals-against average provided at least one of them appeared 25 times. If you don't know by now...the award went, of course, to the Saint John Flames, with a team GAA of 2.48, and specifically to Tyler Moss and Jean-Sebastien Giguere. Giguere and Moss finished 3-4 in AHL goaltending with a 2.46 and 2.49, respectively. Giguere was 16-10-3 in 31 games, with two shutouts and the AHL's best save percentage, .926; Moss was 19-10-7 in 39 games, won the October Goaltender of the Month and finished second to Giguere with a .923 save percentage. Both save percentages were new AHL records.

Rookie of the Year - Dudley 'Red' Garrett Award: Like there was any question about it? Springfield's Daniel Briere picks up the award, which was voted upon by the players and local media. Briere not only led in all rookie scoring categories but was making a serious bid for the overall scoring title when Phoenix finally relented and called him up. He was Rookie of the Month for October and Player of the Week for March 1, as well as a starter for the Canadian All-Star Team and a member of both the AHL All-Star Rookie Team and a First Team All-Star. Hope there's room on his shelf for all this stuff.

Defenseman of the Year - Eddie Shore Award: Philadelphia's Jamie Heward was the easy winner, scoring 17 goals and 48 assists and posting one of the league's top plus/minus ratings at +21 to win the honors. He is the second consecutive Phantom to win the award, following Darren Rumble. Heward was named a First Team All-Star and was a member of the Canadian AHL All-Star Team; he won the Hardest Shot contest with a 97.3 mph blast and had a pair of goals in the game itself. The award was chosen by players and media.

Scott Langkow by Tricia McMillan

Goaltender of the Year - Baz Bastien Award: At the AHL All-Star Game, last year's Bastien winner, JF Labbe, gave the game's goaltender prize to his teammate on the Canadian team, Springfield's Scott Langkow. No word on whether Labbe is going to give the Bastien award to Langkow but the Falcon won it despite spending a hefty chunk of the season in Phoenix. Langkow had career highs in wins (28) and games (49) and a 2.66 goals-against average. He finished third in wins and sixth in goaltending and was the Player of the Week for December 22. Langkow was also a First Team All-Star and the winning goaltender in the AHL All-Star Game. The award was chosen by the media.

Sportsmanship/Dedication - Fred T. Hunt Memorial Award: Rochester's Craig Charron is 30 years old and still plugging away cheerfully. The league's local media recognized him for that and he picks up the award. Charron leads the Amerks in scoring, with 77 points, and was named to the PlanetUSA All-Star Team, where he hung out with famous uncle Jim Craig and chased a toddler. He won the Amerks' Sportsmanship and Community Service Awards the last two seasons and has to told the team he may move to Rochester permanently.

Coach of the Year: The Saint John Flames had one lousy row to hoe this year and Bill Stewart got them to hoe it all the way to the division title and a new league record for fewest goals allowed. Stewart helmed the Flames to their best record in franchise history, with a 27-point improvement over last season and new records for wins, points, and GAA. Stewart played eight years in the NHL, leading the NHL in plus/minus in 80-81. After a one year coaching stint in Oshawa, this was Stewart's first appearance behind the bench for professional team.

MVP - Les Cunningham Award: I still argue that having two players carry a team negates either being an MVP, but nonetheless Kentucky's Steve Guolla walks away with the award after finishing second in the AHL in scoring with 100 points even (37-63). Guolla was also +15 and led the league in short-handed goals, with six. Although he couldn't stick in San Jose, Guolla was voted a starter for the Canadian AHL All-Star Team and was named to the second AHL All-Star Team.
