Five Mooseheads nominated for Golden Puck Awards

The Quebec Major Junior Hockey League announced today the nominees for the Golden Puck awards. Jonathan Drouin was nominated for three awards, while Nathan MacKinnon and Konrad Abeltshauser were both nominated for two awards. Coach Dominique Ducharme also was nominated and so was GM Cam Russell.

Note that Mac Weegar and Zachary Fucale were not nominated which I do not understand. Mackenzie should have at least been nominated for rookie of the year or best defenceman of the year.

Here are the nominees for the awards that will be passed out on April 3rd:
