CALGARY, Alta. – With each of the nine member-leagues within the Canadian Junior Hockey League (CJHL) nearing or having surpassed the midway point of their respective regular seasons, many skaters are having solid campaigns.
Ryan McAllister of the Brooks Bandits (AJHL) currently leads all CJHL players across the country with 69 points, in just 31 games.
The 20-year-old London, Ont., product, who is a NCAA Division commit to Western Michigan University, has scored 23 times and doled out 46 assists along the way for the Bandits, the No. 1 ranked club in the CJHL.
Meanwhile, Tristan Gourdeau of the Panthères de St-Jérôme (LHJAAAQ), sits second in the nation in Jr. A scoring with 65 points.
The 20-year-old from Terrebonne, Que., has 24 tallies and 41 helpers in 26 contests.
Another current 60-plus-point performer to date is McAllister’s Brooks’ teammate T.J. Hughes.
He has 62 points on his ledger as the Mercyhurst D-I commitment, who hails from Hamilton, Ont., has scored 32 times and helped set-up 30 others for the AJHL-leaders, as he rides an impressive 31-game point streak.
Joining that trio with 60, or more points, so far this season, is Brooks defenceman Zach Bookman.
The 19-year-old blueliner from Syracuse, N.Y., who will be off to Merrimack on NCAA scholarship, has found the back of the net 15 times and dished out 45 assists for the high-flying Bandits.
