LEAFS LOOKING FOR ROLE PLAYERS
Finishing out of the playoffs does have its rewards. For the Toronto Maple Leafs, it’s an early start on their homework for the off-season trade market and 1989 NHL waiver draft. Assistant coach Garry Lariviere, for example, flew to Los Angeles for the final two games of the Smythe Division final between the Kings and the Calgary Flames, after scouting both the American and International Leagues. “Teams can protect only so many players,” said Lariviere. “So you want to know exactly what each team has. “You want to evaluate every team in the league in relation to your own club’s needs.

He has already won one national award (plus-minus) and is up for two more (player and defenseman of the year). Winners will be announced at the CHL awards banquet, May 8 in Saskatoon. Below is a list of nominees, one from each of the Ontario, Quebec and Western Leagues, for each award.
