Owen Sound Attack goaltender Carter George has been named the Ontario Hockey League’s Scholastic Player of the Year.
The 17-year-old goaltender was presented the Bobby Smith Trophy for the honour, and was also the league’s recipient of the Ivan Tennant Memorial Award as the top acaedmic high-school student.
According to a release from the Attack, George had a 93.8 per cent average over six Grade 12 university level courses at Owen Sound District Secondary School.
George becomes the OHL’s first dual winner of the Bobby Smith and Ivan Tennant awards since Erie Otters defenceman Adam Pelech last earned both honours in 2011-12.
According to the Attack, George joins four other former players as the latest to claim the Ivan Tennant Memorial Award, following Cal Uens (2022), Logan LeSage (2020), Mack Guzda (2019, ’18) and Andrew Shorkey (2007).
