FRANKENMUTH, Mich — Moose Jaw Warriors forward Jagger Firkus was honored as the David Branch Player of the Year Award winner Saturday at the Canadian Hockey League awards ceremony. The first Moose Jaw player to win the award, Firkus — drafted 35th overall by the Seattle Kraken in 2022 — led the CHL with 126 points on 61 goals and 65 assists in 63 regular-season games to also earn the top scorer award. He led Moose Jaw to the Western Hockey League title and a spot in the Memorial Cup where the Warriors fell to the host Saginaw Spirit on Friday night in the semifinal game. Easton Cowan of the London Knights and Mathieu Cataford of the Halifax Mooseheads were the other two finalists.
