Jackson Parsons is picking up another trophy.

The Ontario Hockey League (OHL) named the Kitchener Rangers’ goalie as the recipient of the Jim Rutherford Trophy. The award is presented annually to the league’s goaltender of the year as chosen by general managers throughout the league.

Parsons posted an incredible season and set a new Rangers single season record with a 2.24 goals-against average.

“I am incredibly honoured to be the recipient of the Jim Rutherford Trophy as Goaltender of the Year,” Parsons said in a news release on Tuesday. “I’d like to thank my goalie coach Jordan DeKort, my incredible teammates and coaches, my family, billets, Ranger Nation and everyone who has supported me. I am so fortunate to have played my entire OHL career with the Kitchener Rangers and my memories of it, and the incredible fan base will stay with me forever.”

Earlier this month, Parsons was also named as the OHL’s top overage player.
