The Western Hockey League announced Gavin McKenna has been named a finalist for the Four Broncos Memorial Trophy which is awarded annually to the leagues best player.
McKenna, the reigning CHL Rookie of the Year, had a stellar sophomore season leading the Tigers in goals, assists, and points, compiling 41 goals, 88 assists for 129 points in just 56 games.
The 2026 draft-eligible product is widely regarded as the consensus number one overall player for the 26 NHL draft and ended the 2024-25 season on a remarkable 40-game point streak, the longest such streak in the WHL in the internet era.
If McKenna were to win the award, he would become the first Medicine Hat Tiger to do so since Kris Russell earned the honor during the 2006-07 season.
