Idaho’s Matt Register and Owen Hendricks were named to the ECHL First Team, and goaltender Adam Scheel was named to the All-ECHL Second Team. Jason Payne (Cincinnati Cyclones), Dan Watson (Toledo Walleye), Brenden Kotyk (South Carolina Stingrays), and Terrence Wallin (Maine Mariners) rounded out the top five candidates for the John Brophy Award.

Idaho would also win the Hockey Operation’s Department of the Year award, which ECHL Coaches vote on. The Toledo Walleye, Savannah Ghost Pirates, Cincinnati Cyclones, and Newfoundland Growlers would round out the top five in the voting for their respective Hockey Operation’s Departments.
