Tuesday night was special for Caps’ prospect Mathieu Perreault: he helped his Acadie Bathurst Titan team to an upset win over PEI in a game 7. Earlier today the good news for Perreault came in the form of some serious hardware: he was named Most Valuable Player of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League.
In 2005, Eric Fehr was named best player of the Western Hockey League. Back in the early ’90s, in consecutive seasons, Caps’ prospects in the OHL won MVP awards: Pat Peake with the Detroit Jr. Red Wings in 1992-93 and Jason Allison with the London Knights in ‘93-’94.

And he will be joined by that league’s leading scorer from this past season as well as numerous, newly signed collegians of promise. I’m actually thinking of enrolling in Berlitz classes for French.
