Marner Receives Red Tilson Trophy

The OHL named London Knight's Mitch Marner as the recipient of the Red Tilson Trophy for Most Outstanding Player of the Year.

In a release, the league says the Toronto Maple Leafs prospect racked up 116 points in 57 games including 39 goals and 77 assists, tied for fourth best in the league.

The 18-year-old registered a point in 52 of the 57 games he played including 31 multi-point performances.

Marner was selected fourth overall by the Leafs in the 2015 NHL Draft and signed his entry-level contract with the club in July.

Marner and the London Knights host the Niagara Ice Dogs on Friday in game one of the Rogers OHL Championship Series.
