London Knights hand out awards to wrap up the 2021-22 season

Veterans Luke Evangelista, Tonio Stranges and Brett Brochu took home multiple honours to end the 2021-22 London Knights season.

Evangelista earned the 3 Star Cup, Leading Scorer, Booster Club Player of the Year and Team Most Valuable Player.

The Knights captain lead the Ontario Hockey League with 55 goals this season and added 56 assists for 111 points.

Stranges was given the Don Brankley Community Service Award, the Sportsmanship and Ability Award and Playoff Performer.

The Dallas Stars draft pick had 11 points in six games to finish as one of the scoring leaders of the opening round of the post-season. His one-handed, through-the-legs shootout goal in Game 1 against the Kitchener Rangers will live on in highlight reels forever.

Brochu earned the Intensity Award for the work that he put in to return from an ankle injury in time for the first game of the playoffs. The Tilbury, Ont., native played over 2,500 minutes and made nearly 1,200 saves despite missing the final six weeks of the season.
