As voted on by BCHL broadcaster’s the league’s All Star nominations were released today.
Despite a great team performance on the season, the Cents only had one individual singled out by the league’s play by play men: Nick Granowicz.
Granowicz had an electrifying season in what will be his only year in the BCHL. His 10 game-winning goals were a BCHL best, his 32 goals on the season were 7th, and his total of 59 points was good enough for 16th in the league. For his efforts he was named a Second-Team All Star.
The Macomb, Michigan native is committed to play hockey at the University of Michigan next season and will join former Centennials forward and NHLer turned Coach, Bill Muckalt.
Granowicz joins Head Coach Joe Martin as the only two Centennials to be recognized by the BCHL in year end awards.
