Brooks Bandits forward, Trey Thomas has found a new home for the 2020-21 season.

The Williams Lake, BC, native has committed to Plattsburgh State of the State University of New York Athletic Conference in the NCAA Division III.

Thomas played 105 AJHL games over two seasons splitting time between the Bandits and the Bonnyville Pontiacs. He was brought to Alberta from the Salmon Arm Silverbacks by Bonnyville during the 2019 season.

Thomas scored 36 goals and 97 points and had a career season with the Bandits last year scoring 18 goals and 52 points.

He now becomes the 16th player from the 2019-20 Brooks Bandits to commit to a post-secondary.

Kris Bladen is heading to Liberty University (ACHA) next season after announcing his commitment on Twitter.

He last played in the MJHL for the Waywayseecappo Wolverines who’s associate coach is former Sherwood Park Crusaders’ defenceman, Josh Lee. Before his move to Manitoba, Bladen played in 65 AJHL games over two seasons for three different teams.

The Edmonton native began his junior career with the Spruce Grove Saints where he played 19 games scoring one goal and seven points. In late November, he was moved to the Calgary Mustangs in exchange for Cole Basnett.

Bladen dressed in 31 games for the Mustangs to close out the season and then in five more playoff games against the Camrose Kodiaks. The next season, he joined the Lloydminster Bobcats after the Mustangs folded.

Bladen finished his AJHL career with six goals, 17 points in 65 games played. While in the MJHL, he broke out offensively scoring 17 goals, 25 points in 45 games which helped earn him a spot at Liberty University next season.

Wednesday

Makar Named Calder Trophy Finalist

http://yaneslab.com/wp-json/oembed/1.0/embed?url=https://yaneslab.com/embo-practical-course-metabolomics-bioinformatics-life-scientists-2016/ Source: https://twitter.com/frank_seravalli/status/1283439657825505281?s=20

One of the biggest stars to come from the AJHL, Cale Makar has been named a finalist for the 2020 Calder Trophy after an outstanding rookie campaign with the Colorado Avalanche.

Makar had 12 goals, 50 points in 57 games making him the second-highest scoring rookie behind only Quinn Hughes.

Before heading to the NHL, the Calgary native dressed in 111 games for the Brooks Bandits, Makar was a standout performer every night scoring 35 goals and 135 points during his team in Alberta.

Makar won back-to-back AJHL champions in Brooks beating the Spruce Grove Saints 4-1 in 2016 and then sweeping the Whitecourt Wolverines in 2017.

In 2016, the Bandits lost to the West Kelowna Warriors in the semi-finals but Makar was named the RBC MVP after leading the tournament in points with four goals and seven points. The following year, they made it one step further but again missed out on the championship losing in overtime to the Cobourg Cougars. Once again, Makar was named the RBC MVP.

He went on to represent Team Canada West in his final season in Brooks at the World Junior A Challenge. He won a goal medal and was named to the All-Star team.

At the 2017 NHL Entry Draft, Makar was taken 4th overall by the Colorado Avalanche making him the highest-drafted AJHL player.
