On the statistical leaderboards, Connor Kelly leads the league in two-point goals while Kyle Bernhlohr paces all goalies in save percentage.
Cannons
Since joining the Cannons midway through the season, Jonathan Donville has found himself a home. Donville exploded for a pair of goals on Saturday against the Chrome. He's now scored seven goals to go alongside two assists earlier in the season.
Making an impact across the entire field, Bubba Fairman has made his presence felt for the canons. This past weekend Fairman showed off his versatility with a CT, a GB, and a goal. He's got a CT, five points, and 17 GB on the season.
