Tye Felhaber amongst early favourites for CHL playoff MVP awards
Ottawa 67’s forward Tye Felhaber is scoring the type of playoff goals that can earn a player the title of most valuable player.
The 21-year-old from Pembroke, Ont., pushed his team into the Ontario Hockey League championship on Wednesday by scoring both goals in a 2-1 overtime win against the host Oshawa Generals in Game 4 of the East final, sweeping the best-of-seven set.
Felhaber connected on a one-timer with only 34 seconds to go in regulation to tie the game 1-1, then sniped the winner just 20 seconds into the extra period.
“Awesome feeling, first one was kind of a relief,” said Felhaber, whose squad hasn’t been shut out once all season and is 12-0 in the playoffs.
