Two Brooks Bandits up for AJHL Awards
BROOKS, AB – Brooks Bandits captain Dennis Cesana is one of four finalists for the most Most Valuable Player Award, as well as the AJHL’s Outstanding Defenceman Award. The Providence, Rhode Island native committed to Michigan State University last season.
Cesana has 11 goals and 50 assists in 52 games, the Bandits are 39-12-1 with eight games left in the season. He leads all AJHL defencemen in scoring, leads his team in scoring, and broke former teammate Cale Makar’s record for assists in a single season by a defenceman.
Makar was Colorado’s fourth-overall pick in the NHL Draft last season.
“Cale Makar won it last year, and he’s an unbelievable player so it’s kind of cool to be mentioned up there with him, or even considered for that,” Cesana says.
