Best of the East Poll.

This is a copy taken the "White Board" which was published by Bruce Luebke in the Brandon Sun.

For the Poll's Full Results go here. http://luberslounge.blogspot.com I felt guilty for copying the whole thing, So I just included the results that involved the Tigers.

4. TOP ROOKIE
Emerson Etem Medicine Hat
Ryan Nugent-Hopkins Red Deer
Toni Rajala Brandon
Note: Top three rookie scorers in the
Eastern Conference.


10. BEST PRO PROSPECT (UNDRAFTED)
Emerson Etem Medicine Hat
Ryan Nugent-Hopkins Red Deer
Quinton Howden Moose Jaw
Note: There was some thinking outside
the box here with several undrafted
20-year olds garnering votes but, in the
end, the young guys won out.


12. BEST COACH
Mark Holick Kootenay
Willie Desjardins Medicine Hat
Lorne Molleken Saskatoon
Note: Interesting that Holick out-legs the
Canadian junior team coach for the
honour. Brandons Kelly McCrimmon
ended up No. 4 in the voting.


14. TOP DEFENSIVE FORWARD
Carter Bancks Lethbridge
Wacey Hamilton Medicine Hat
Brent Raedeke Brandon
Note: Bancks is also captain of the
Hurricanes so he brings a lot to the table.

24. TOUGHEST BUILDING TO PLAY IN ON THE ROAD?
Medicine Hat
Brandon
Moose Jaw
Note: There were no specifics given so
reasons could range from travel required,
the crowd, the building or, simply, the
quality of the opponent.

25. WHICH ARENA HAS THE BEST ICE?
Swift Current
Medicine Hat
Edmonton
Note: Apparently theres some work to
do at Westman Place. Brandon was
nearly shut out in this category,
garnering only a pair of third-place votes
