Jonah Gadjovich named Player of the Game for Team Canada

Canucks prospects continued to excel today at the World Junior Championships in Buffalo. The first, and hopefully not the last, prospect to be awarded Player of the Game honours was none other than Canada’s own Jonah Gadjovich.

Gadjovich had a very strong game today, potting on two goals and making his presence known. He showcased his vision of the ice on numerous occasions and was able to set up his linemates for quality scoring chances.

It’s becoming more and more understandable why Gadjovich’s nickname is #TheManChild. Throwing the body, creating energy and going to the net are how he makes his living. Today, he played on the fourth line alongside Tyler Steenbergen and Drake Batherson. He’s a regular on the penalty-kill and saw some power-play time as well.
