Hunter Bauer and Loik Leduc honoured by MJHL

Hunter Bauer’s rescue of the Steinbach Pistons goaltending situation couldn’t have gone much better, and his efforts were recognized by the Manitoba Junior Hockey League.

Bauer went 5-0 in December, as he became the team’s number one option following injuries to their starter and back-up. He didn’t just survive, he thrived, posting three shutouts in those five games and was a shoe-in to be named the McMunn and Yates goaltender of the month.

Down the road in Niverville, Loik Leduc scored at more than a point-per-game pace for the Nighthawks, and was named the Chevrolet rookie of the month. The 2006-born forward is one of five Niverville players scoring at more than a point per game pace.

Portage’s Drayden Uhrina, Dauphin’s Ty Pratte and Neepawa’s Jack Clark were also named players of the month.

Steinbach defenseman Rory Gilmour was named a player of the week for Dec. 29-Jan. 4, nabbing two goals and three assists in a pair of games for the Pistons
