Congratulations to Dylan Kinch, who was named the BCHL Most Sportsmanlike Player.
Kinch ended his 2024-25 campaign with 27 goals and 40 assists for 67 points in 52 contests, tying for sixth in the BCHL scoring race, all while taking just four minutes in penalties all season long.
For the 20-year-old forward, his third and final season in the BCHL was by far his best, setting career highs in all offensive categories. He notched a hat trick in a Nov. 15 win over the Powell River Kings, then had a two-goal, two-assist performance in an overtime win Dec. 28 against the Prince George Spruce Kings
Kinch seemed to set the tone for the rest of his teammates as Nanaimo received the fourth-fewest penalty minutes of any team in the league. This season was not an outlier for him either. In his rookie season in 2022-23, the Long Island University commit only took six minutes in penalties.
Kinch is the fourth player in Clippers history to win this award, joining Andy Faulkner (1992), Brent Murcheson (1993) and Steve Kariya (1995).
