Hockey WaPo Hockey POY

Reid Pehrkon, F, Sr., Landon | Winning this award for a second straight season, Pehrkon dazzled in his final high school campaign. The dynamic forward totaled 21 goals and 12 assists in Mid-Atlantic Prep Hockey League play and 11 points in the Bears’ playoff run. He led Landon to a MAPHL title, scoring the game-tying goal with less than a minute remaining and then pitching in a tally in the shootout. He is committed to Babson College.
