Klippers Awards Night Wrapup - Sonntag Gets Scholarship

Well if you were following my twitter feed then you would of known that I was unable to attend the Klippers Banquet this weekend past.

I was having some problems around town because I have to get my plates switched over to Saskatchewan plates since I have Alberta at the moment. I was unable to pass a Saskatchewan inspection due to aftermarket parts on my car. So I took it back home this weekend to get everything switched up only to find that my Halo projector headlights had burnt out and burnt the inside of the headlights making them irreplaceable. So now I have to order in Mazda factory headlights and that will take up to a week so I ended up having to bring back my parents vehicle while they get everything fixed up in Edmonton. Tough predicament but with all the car problems I was unable to make it back to Kindersley in time for Saturday night.

Now I heard from a few people that the Banquet was fantastic and overall a great night that I wish I could of been a part of.

I'm working on getting a full recap of the banquet but for now here are the award winners.

Congrats to Sonntag, I am sure he is going to be a top notch defensemen for the Cougars. One thing forsure is that he will keep the fans on the edge of their seats with his exciting style of play and bone crushing hits.

I wish the rest of the other twenty year old players the best of luck in their future hockey careers and wish I could of been their to celebrate the night with the team. I will try and keep everyone up to date on all the Klipper happenings throughout the off season. It will likely be fairly quiet until after the RBC but you can expect some trades to be made immediately following the tourneys conclusion.
