THUNDER BAY, Ont. – The Superior International Junior Hockey League announced Thursday that Fort Frances Lakers forward Dylan Robertson has been named the Amyotte’s Awards & Promotions most valuable player for the 2015-16 season.
Robertson garnered the accolades over fellow MVP finalists, defenceman Kyle Pouncy of the Dryden GM Ice Dogs and goaltender Riley Corbin of the Thunder Bay North Stars in voting completed by each of the league member clubs.
The native of Atlanta, Ga., led the SIJHL in scoring this season with 88 points in 53 games on 31 goals and a league-best 57 assists.
His tally total was the second highest in the league and he paced all skaters in game-winning goals with seven.

He boasted the highest consecutive game point streak in the SIJHL this season at 15 games.
Robertson was also named the SIJHL’s Gongshow Gear performer of the month for February.
He will also be the SIJHL’s nominee for Canadian Junior Hockey League MVP honours.
