The accolades continue for players on the Mowat Cup-winning Grand Forks Border Bruins.
Vernon's Tyler Burke and Kelowna's Russell Kosec were named two of the three KIJHL's Stars of the Month for their performances in both the Teck Cup and Mowat Cup.
En route to victory in the KIJHL championship against the Revelstoke Grizzlies, Burke registered six goals, and seven assists in seven games, and was named the Teck Cup MVP.
In the four Mowat Cup games against the Ridge Meadows Flames, the 20-year-old forward scored seven times, and added 11 helpers. Burke had a hat-trick in Game 3, played an average of 19:51 a game, and was a plus 10.
Kosec was named the top defenceman of the month, with his nine helpers in 11 games. Manning the back end for an average of 24:17, the 20-year-old was a plus 15 and had two multi-point games.
The Border Bruins broke through to win two titles this season, the first time in its 56 year history. They dispatched the Grizzlies in a four-game sweep to win the Teck Cup, before beating the Pacific Junior Hockey League champion (PJHL) Flames in Game 4 of the best-of-five finals to take home the Mowat trophy.
