Medicine Hat’s McKenna player of the month in WHL

Nov 1, 2024 | 6:49 AM

Medicine Hat Tigers forward Gavin McKenna is the WHL player of the month.

He is the leading scorer in the WHL, and had eight multi-point games in September and October.

Opposition teams have only managed to keep McKenna off the scoresheet twice this season.

McKenna was the WHL and CHL Rookie of the Year when he set a franchise record for most points by a 16 year old with 97 last season.

The junior superstar has also helped his teammates find success on the ice.

He leads the Tigers into Regina tonight to face a Pats team they beat 5-1 at home last Saturday night.

On Saturday, the Tigers visit Brandon.

They begin November in second place in the Central Division.
