Award recognizes most outstanding player on an AHL contract
[Ed. Note: This is a fun one today. A few years back, I had the idea to recognize players who play in the AHL but aren't on NHL contracts. The idea sat in my head for a while, and this summer I finally put it together. Today, a group of league media led by me is launching the The Bruce Boudreau Award. I'll write a process story about it for tomorrow or later today, but the highlight of the journey included an interview with Bruce Boudreau, something I never thought I'd be able to say when I started as a journalist.
