Edmonton, Alberta - For the fourth time in the history of the Regina Pats Hockey Club, one of its players has been named The Western Hockey League Player of the Year. At the WHL Awards banquet this afternoon in Edmonton, Jordan Eberle was awarded the "Four Broncos Memorial Trophy", recognizing the WHL top player.

In just 57 games this season, Eberle was second in WHL scoring with 106 points and was also second in goals with 50. He was the first Pat player to hit the 50 goal plateau since Ronald Petrovicky scored 64 in 1997-98.

Eberle was also a unanimous pick as a 1st team Eastern Conference all-star for the second time in his career (the first was in 2007-08).

The three previous winners of the Four Broncos Memorial Trophy/Player of the Year are:

2002-03 Josh Harding

1979-80 Doug Wickenheiser

1972-73 Dennis Sobchuk

Eberle beat out the Western Conference Player of the Year, Vancouver Giants forward Craig Cunningham. He is now the WHL nominee for the CHL's player of the year, which will be announced at the Canadian Hockey League Awards on Saturday, May 22nd in Brandon, which is all a part of the week long Memorial Cup festivities.
