A pair of Red Deer College Kings hockey players have earned special recognition for outstanding play this season.

Tanner Butler was named ACAC Men’s Hockey Player of the Year, as well as to the First All-Conference Team.

Butler, a graduating fifth-year, led all ACAC blueliners with 10 goals and 20 assists in the regular season, and all of that in just 26 games. 

Chase Thudium, a Business Admin student, finished tied for top spot in league scoring with 18 goals. He was also named to the First All-Conference Team.

A native of Sylvan Lake, Butler had 37 points, second league-wide.

The awards were announced prior to game one of that series on Friday night.
