The Ridge Meadows Flames are well represented in the league all-star selections, with nine players, their head coach, general manager and even the trainer being named to the Harold Brittain Conference team.
Rookie goaltender Vaughn Kaliel led the league with seven shutouts in 23 games played, and posted an impressive record of 20 wins against just one loss. He allowed just 1.55 goals per game, best in the PJHL, and posted a save percentage of 0.933, which was second.
Defencemen Jakob Loewen, Lukas Ravenstein, and Tyler Blatz were also named all-stars. Loewen was the obvious choice, as he led all PJHL defencemen with 56 points in 47 games.
Flames captain Lukas Ravenstein also had a great year offensively, with 36 points in 42 games, while bringing a grit factor that saw him post a team-high 82 penalty minutes. He had a great playoff, with 19 points in 15 games.
Blatz had a great rookie season with 33 points in 46 games, and also brought a strong physical game.
Forwards Jack Foster and Theo Kochan tied for fourth in league scoring during the regular season, with a team-leading 74 points each. Evan Fedele (52 points), Nolan Bowsher (43) and Sam Allen (37) are also all-stars.
GM Derek Bedard, coach Brent Hughes, and trainer Sean Johnson are also named confence all-stars, chosen from among their peers on seven teams.
The Flames won the Stonehouse Cup Pacific Junior Hockey League championship this season, and went on to the Mowat Cup provincial championship and won silver, which was a huge accomplishment for Hughes and the rest of their off-ice personnel.
