Kelowna Rockets forward prospect Liam Kindree was named the Offensive Player of the Year in the BC Major Midget Hockey League.
Kindree, who was drafted in the fourth round, 87th overall by the Rockets in the 2015 Bantam draft, finished this season leading his league in scoring with 28 goals and 39 assists for 67 points in 40 games played. He also added four goals and three assists for seven points in five playoff games.
The 5'10 native of North Vancouver played seven games in a Rockets uniform during the regular season this year. He got himself an assist in those seven games as well as a -1 plus/minus rating. He also played in the last game against the Portland Winterhawks in round two of the 2017 WHL Playoffs.
