Belleville Bulls News Release
Luke Judson and Shawn Lalonde have been recognized in the 2009-2010 OHL Eastern Conference Coaches Poll. The OHL Coaches Poll provides Head Coaches with the opportunity to recognize players in several skill categories within their own conference. The top three players in each category from each conference are recognized.
Each team submits one nominee per category and coaches then vote for the top three players for each category within their conference and are not permitted to vote for players on their own team. Players receive five points for a first place vote, three points for a second place vote, and one point for a third place vote.
Judson was recognized in four categories including second place in both Most Underrated Player and Best Penalty Killer and third place in Most Improved Player and Best Body Checker. Judson finished the season with 29 goals and 44 points in 65 games played with Belleville.
Lalonde won the Best Skater category for a second consecutive season while also finishing second in Best Offensive Defenceman. Lalonde led the Bulls in scoring this season with 13 goals and 56 points in 58 games played.
