Press Release
SUDBURY -- The Northern Ontario Junior Hockey League
announced Wednesday that Adam Newkirk of the Blind River Beavers has
been named the 2012-13 recipient of the NOJHL Trophy, which is presented
annually to the league’s top defenceman.
The veteran six-foot, 185-pound blueliner, who hails from Chicago,
Ill., is in his last year of junior hockey and skated in all but two
games for the Beavers during the regular season amassing 25 points on
seven tallies and 18 assists.
He becomes the first Beavers’ player to win the award in a campaign
in which he also easily surpassed his goal, assist and point totals from
a year ago.
As Blind River’s team captain, Newkirk logged plenty of minutes each
night helping solidify his teams’ defensive efforts on a nightly basis.
He was also earlier named a NOJHL first team all-star for efforts in helping bolster the Beavers’ defensive corps.
