Red Deer’s Easton Daneault has been named the Alberta Junior Hockey League’s Rookie of the Year.

Daneault, a 16-year-old forward with the Drumheller Dragons, was named as a finalist a couple weeks ago, alongside fellow Red Deerian Cooper Moore of the Lloydminster Bobcats.

Two weeks in a row this past December, Daneault was named AJHL Rookie of the Week. He also racked up five Player of the Game honours, and scored five game-winning goals.

Daneault ranked seventh in the AJHL Scoring Race with an average of 1.04 points per game and 56 points (21G, 35A), including 24 points on the Dragons powerplay.

He also got in six games with the Lethbridge Hurricanes of the WHL, contributing one assist.
