More importantly, he provided leadership, toughness and ate up a lot of minutes on Chatham’s blueline. This was Bacik’s third year with the Maroons. He has two seasons of junior eligibility remaining.

Chatham’s Tre Altiman, who plays goalie for the LaSalle Vipers was also named to the conference all-star team. In his second season in LaSalle, Altiman played in 38 games, with a 2.62 goals against average and a 92.7 save percentage, which was second-best in the GOJHL.
