Merritt Centennials’ forward John Schiavo is one of three finalists for the BCHL’s Bob Fenton Trophy, awarded annually to the most-sportsmanlike player in the league.
The other two nominees are forward Corey Mackin of the Coquitlam Express and Cowichan Valley Capitals’ forward Sean Harrison.
The 20-year-old Schiavo, from East Patchoque, New York, is a rookie in the British Columbia Hockey League. Last season, he played for the P.A.L. Junior Islanders of the USPHL.
Prior to Wednesday, in 55 games this year as a Merritt Centennial, the sharpshooting Schiavo had scored 26 goals and added 32 assists for 58 points while accumulating just four minutes in penalties.
