Forward Oscar Moller was recognized as a Western Conference first team All Star at forward. The Spanga, SWE native was the only European player recognized by the WHL in either All Star Selections or Awards nominations. Moller,(89), led the Bruins in goals with a team record 39 markers. Oscar also chipped in with 44 assists for 83 points and finished 10th in league scoring, despite only playing in 63 games.
Forward Mark Santorelli adds to his impressive week.

Mark was the only Bruin to participate in all 72 Bruins games this season and his next game on Friday will mark his 150th consecutive game as a Bruin. âI am excited for both Oscar and myself to be named as WHL All Stars,' comments Santorelli, at today's WHL media conference in Vancouver. âI am also proud to win the WHL scoring title. While it is exciting for me to win the scoring title, my 74 assists shows everyone that this accomplishment would not happen without the support of my teammates. I share this award with them and look forward to battling alongside them in the playoffs.'
