            Sean Kolodziejski was named best forward; Tyler Ostoforoff, best defensive player, and James Trofimenkoff the best goalie.

              Carson Dennis was presented with the Ken Wasiliw Memorial Sportsmanship Award in memory of Ken Wasyliw. The award is presented to the person who best embodies what the Canora Flames Tournament is all about.
