Chase Brakel is the Portage Terriers' Playoff MVP.

He finished the Manitoba Junior Hockey League playoffs with 15 points (7G, 8A) in 18 games played.

"I think I was pretty resilient these playoffs," says Brakel. "I had a lot of patches where I wasn't contributing on the score sheet, and I was able to sort of push through it with the help of my linemates. Especially with the help of Jeremy Leipsic and James McIsaac, we were able to figure it out."

Brakel's taking a little time off from training and hockey to relax. He's looking forward to returning to the Terriers next season.
