TOP REGULAR SEASON TEAM – CARLETON PLACE CANADIANS
Ho hum. Another year, another regular-season championship for the Carleton Place Canadians. The Canadians – three-time defending CCHL and East Region titlists – made it four-consecutive seasons atop the regular-season standings, posting their second 50-win season over that stretch to finish 11 points up on Cornwall. They closed their schedule in style, winning their last 17 games. Carleton Place was equally as good at home and on the road – it had identical 25-6-0 records as host and visitor – and at both ends of the rink; the Canadians outscored their opponents 252-135, scoring 20 goals more than any other team, and allowing 24 fewer. Six Canadians broke the 40-point barrier, led by Connor Merkley (29-37—66), who finished ninth in CCHL scoring. Connor Hughes was the workhorse between the pipes, leading all goaltenders in minutes played (2803:49), wins (36), goals-against average (1.99) and shutouts (eight).
