January players of the month

No room for the MJHL players of the month in the hockey column this week, so we’ll kick off this column by recognizing the best in the MJHL from the month of January.
Winnipeg South Blues’ forward Brendan O’Donnell has been named January’s RBC Player of the Month. The 17-year-old rookie had 20 points (10 goals, 10 assists) in 11 games last month.
Not shockingly, he was also named the Husky Energy Rookie of the Month.
Also considered for this award was Niko Grose, 20, of the Waywayseecappo Wolverines and Wes Pawluk, 20, of the Neepawa Natives.
Stephane Robidoux of the Waywayseecappo Wolverines was named the Sher-wood Hockey Defenceman of the Month. The Haywood product scored 15 points (two goals, 13 assists) to lead the Wolverines to an incredible month of January.
Other players considered for this award was Peter Stoykewych of the Winnipeg South Blues and Dale Warkentin of the OCN Blizzard.
The GDI Prairies Goaltender of the Month is Winnipeg Saints netminder Justin Leclerc. Arriving at the trade deadline, the former WHL netminder posted a 6-1 record, along with a 2.25 GAA and .931 save percentage. He also shutout the top team in the MJHL, the Dauphin Kings.
Also considered for this honour was Jason Kasdorf of the Portage Terriers and Matt Krahn of the Neepawa Natives.
