Just five days ago he was named to the 2023-24 AHL First All-Star Team.

And today he’s got some new hardware becoming just the second ever Moose defender to have been voted the 2023-24 Eddie Shore Award winner as the AHL’s outstanding defenceman. The last guy was Sami Niku back in 2017-18.

As per the AHL “the award was voted on by coaches, players and members of the media in each of the league’s 32 cities.”.

I also appear on the Illegal Curve Hockey Show every Saturday on our YouTube channel as well as the Illegal Curve Post-Game Show after every single Jets game. And I occasionally jump in the play-by-play booth at Canada Life to provide colour analysis during Manitoba Moose games.
