Mikael Backlund wins 2019-20 Peter Maher Award
With the end of the 2019-20 regular season comes the announcement of several team awards for the Calgary Flames. Veteran centre Mikael Backlund has been named this season’s recipient of the Peter Maher Good Guy Award.
Selected by local media, the honour is awarded to the Flames player that best demonstrates the virtues of Peter Maher: sincerity, integrity, dedication and respect. (Disclosure: I have a vote.) A dozen different players received votes during the balloting.
The previous winners of the award were Travis Hamonic (2018-19), Matt Stajan (2017-18), Chad Johnson (2016-17) and Joe Colborne (2013-14 through 2015-16).
