US EditionFormer Vancouver Canucks forward Jayson Megna wins second annual Bruce Boudreau Award
Megna earned the honor after posting 51 points, 26 goals and a +21 plus-minus while captaining Colorado for a second straight season.
- On Thursday, April 30, 2026, the American Hockey League named Colorado Eagles captain Jayson Megna the 2026 Bruce Boudreau Award winner, recognizing the league's most outstanding player on an American League contract.
- Stephen Meserve conceived the award, named for Bruce Boudreau, to spotlight players who uphold professional standards; runners-up included Bridgeport Islanders forward Chris Terry, Springfield Thunderbird forward Chris Wagner, and Texas Stars forward Curtis McKenzie.
- Megna recently completed his 14th season in the AHL, tying a career-high with 26 goals while finishing with a plus-minus of +21 and a shooting percentage of 19.4 per cent.
- "Incredibly fortunate to get to do what I do for a living," Megna said, choosing an American League contract over NHL offers to remain in Colorado with his wife and five-year-old daughter.
- He focuses on off-ice habits, ensuring teammates have their finances "squared away" so they feel comfortable at the rink, aiming to set younger prospects up for long-term success.
