Season highlights

edit

The Carleton Place Canadians finished the regular season in first place.[1] On 12 March 2020, the league cancelled all events indefinitely due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[2] The cancellation came after the completion of the regular season, but before the completion of the post-season. Consequently, no team was awarded the league championship Bogart Cup.[3]

Awards

edit

Devon Levi, rookie goaltender for the Carleton Place Canadians, received awards as the league's most valuable player, top prospect and top goaltender.[4][5] He also received national recognition as the CJHL's most valuable player, top goaltender and top rookie.[6][7]
