Raiders Year-End Awards

Paddock named Raiders’ MVP, Aquilon picks up second award as MVD

May 21, 2021 | 3:51 PM

Remy Aquilon and Max Paddock picked up the final two accolades in 2020-21 Prince Albert Raiders Year-End Awards.

Aquilon was presented with the Jim Neilson Award as the Most Valuable Defenceman, while Paddock was named as the Orland Kurtenbach Award as Most Valuable Player.

Despite the shortened season, Aquilon set career highs with 15 assists and 16 points. He was also +7 on the season. After captain Kaiden Guhle fell to injury in just the Raiders’ second game, Aquilon was immediately the top defenceman.

This is Aquilon’s second award this year, after winning the Ches Leach Award as the team’s Most Improved Player earlier in the week.
