“A tough, high-skilled, two-way forward, he is smart, consistent and well-rounded on both ends of the ice.”
The grade 12 forward finished with 33 points this season.
“(Froese is a) strong, mobile defenceman with smooth skating who dominates both ends of the ice,” his profile reads.
“A big-body shutdown player with unmatched speed, vision and elite playmaking ability, he also contributes heavily to the offence.”
Steinbach Regional’s captain had 31 points from the back end. Sabres Goaltender Kash Amor weas named as an honourable mention to the top 10 list.
Oak Park forward Karsten Ross was recognized as the province’s top player for this season.
