For three straight seasons, a Halifax Mooseheads player has been awarded the Paul Dumont Trophy or the Mike Bossy Trophy. Second year forwards Nikolaj Ehlers and Timo Meier were the only current Herd players to be nominated for awards. The two teammates were both nominated for the Paul Dumont Trophy which is Personality of the Year. They were joined by former teammate Zach Fucale as nominees. 19 year old Ehlers ended up winning the award. Nik was also nominated for the Michel Briere Trophy as Most Valuable Player but lost to Conor Garland of the Moncton Wildcats. Garland was also awarded the Jean Beliveau Trophy as the league's top scorer with 129 points.

Timo Meier won the Mike Bossy trophy for Top Professional Prospect. Meier was ranked #10 in the final Central Scouting Services draft rankings. The 18 year old is the highest ranked Quebec league prospect for this year's NHL draft. He is the third Moosehead to win the award, following Jonathan Drouin in 2012-13 and Nikolaj Ehlers in 2013-14. Fucale was the reigning Paul Dumont Trophy winner while Jonathan Drouin won the award in 2012-13.

Former Herd player Luca Ciampini was nominated for the humanitarian and community involvement award but lost to Danick Martel of the Blainville-Boisbriand Armada.
