By Brian Bowman There are a whole lot of Winnipeg High School Hockey League players that improved over this past season. But only one received the league’s most improved player award. And he was a Selkirk Royal. Royals’ forward Jordan Simko capped off a tre- mendous season by receiving the distinguished honour at last Thursday’s WHSHL awards banquet. “It was pretty huge (to get honoured),” said Simko. “I didn’t think I was (going to win), honestly. I was hoping that I would but I didn’t really know what to expect.” Simko led Selkirk in goals scored (17) and points (38) in just 24 regular-season games. “I thought it was a very good season for me,” Sim- ko said. “I was playing with some pretty good guys this year and I couldn’t have done it without them.” He was dominant all season while playing on a line with Grafton Hopkins and Easton Donohoe. That potent line fi nished 1-2-3 in Royals’ scoring this past season. RECORD PHOTOS SUBMITTED “I’ve played with Easton the past three years,” Selkirk Royals’ players and coaches, from left to right, Ray Hefferman, Raymond Hefferman, Simko noted. “We’ve played high school together Easton Donohoe, Jordan Simko, Jack Jehle, and Michael Buffi e attended last week’s WHSHL since Grade 10.
