Elite League Award nominations

[harlan]

Both Dutes and Bryan Pitton are on short lists for the Elite League Awards.

Rather than being voted for by journalists and lay men, these awards are voted for by coaches and officials of the 10 teams, i.e people who should really know what they are talking about.

Todd is on the short list of three for Coach of the Year along with Richard Hartman and Corey Neilson.

Bryan is on the short list for Netminder of the Year along with Craig Kowalski and Nic Riopel.

All the best guys and congratulations on the recognition

Neither will win any award I feel.

[harlan]

No I don't think either will win but I think these awards carry far more weight to them than the ones earlier this week done by the journalists, some of whom are nothing more than trumped up fans.

These are nominated by professionals who play and understand the game a hell of a lot more.

So for me to get nominated by your peers is worth an awful lot more, irrespective of whether you win or not

to be in the top few is tremendous
