The Central Canada Hockey League is pleased to announce that Carleton Place Canadians goaltender Devon Levi has been named the Most Valuable Player by the Canadian Junior Hockey League.
The final voting process came down to Levi, as well as Arjun Atwal of the Sherwood Park Crusaders (AJHL), Kent Johnson of the Trail Smoke Eaters (BCHL), Brodie MacArthur of the Summerside Western Capitals (MHL), and Caleb Serre of the Blind River Beavers (NOJHL).
The 2001 born Dollard-des-Ormeaux, QC native and Northeastern University commit adds another individual award to his trophy case, which already includes CJHL Top Goaltender and Top Rookie honours, as well as earning Top Prospect and Most Valuable Player in the CCHL. Levi led the entire country with a 1.47 GAA and 8 shutouts, while finishing 2nd in Wins (34) and third in SV% (.941).
On top of back-stopping Carleton Place to their seventh straight regular season title, Levi also participated in the CJHL Top Prospects Game and represented Canada East at the 2019 World Junior A Challenge, helping them to a Silver Medal and earning tournament MVP. He is the 8th ranked North American goaltender for the upcoming NHL Entry Draft.
“Devon is just a special person and athlete,” said Canadians Head Coach Jason Clarke. “There is not a selfish bone in his body, which makes him the best teammate I have ever seen in this program in over 11 years. He has been an MVP to his teammates, goalie partner, our organization and community. His personality and his love for being at the rink is infectious.”
