Catamount Senior Elite League Announces End-of-Season Award Winners

The regular season has officially wrapped, and with it comes one of the best traditions in the Catamount Senior Elite League handing out hardware to the guys who lit it up all year long.

From elite playmakers to certified puck hogs, this season delivered no shortage of standout performances. Let’s get into the awards.

Chris Thompson Award (League MVP)

Winner: Jake Ledyard — 26 Points

If there was one player who consistently controlled the pace of the game this season, it was Jake Ledyard.

Putting up an impressive 26 points, Ledyard proved to be the engine behind his team’s offense night in and night out. Whether it was finishing plays himself or setting up teammates in clutch moments, he did it all.

What separates Ledyard from the pack isn’t just the numbers it’s the impact. Every time he stepped on the ice, you could feel the shift. Big goals, smart plays, and a constant presence on the scoresheet made him the clear choice for this year’s Chris Thompson MVP Award.

Puck Hog of the Year (Leading Goal Scorer)

Winners: Tucker Cobb, Craig Reyell, Kevin Salinas — 14 Goals Each

This year’s goal-scoring race didn’t just go down to the wire… it ended in a deadlock.

Three players. Same number. No sharing the spotlight, or maybe all of it.

• Tucker Cobb

• Craig Reyell

• Kevin Salinas

Each player buried 14 goals, earning themselves the title of Puck Hog of the Year.

From greasy net-front finishes to highlight-reel snipes, these three made a living lighting the lamp. And let’s be honest when you’re scoring at that pace, passing becomes optional.

A three-way tie feels fitting for a season where offense was on full display across the league.

Distributor of the Year (Assist Leader)

Winner: Jake Ledyard — 16 Assists

Not only did Jake Ledyard lead the league in total points, but he also proved to be its top facilitator.

With 16 assists, Ledyard showed elite vision and awareness, consistently finding teammates in prime scoring positions. Whether it was threading a pass through traffic or setting up a backdoor tap-in, he made the game easier for everyone around him.

It’s rare to see a player dominate both sides of offensive production, but Ledyard did exactly that taking home Distributor of the Year honors to go along with his MVP trophy.

Final Thoughts

This season had everything tight races, breakout performances, and a league full of talent that keeps raising the bar year after year.

And while these players are taking home the awards, it’s the competition across the entire Catamount league that made these performances possible.

Now, all eyes turn to the playoffs where reputations are built, and legacies are cemented.
