Alistair MacPhee of The Martello Wealth Bandits is the U15 Major Player of the Month.

Alistair has been an outstanding performer both on and off the ice throughout January, making him a deserving nominee . During the regular season, Alistair showcased remarkable consistency, recording at least one point in every game played. He totaled 6 goals and 7 assists, proving to be a key offensive contributor for the Bandits.

Alistair’s performance during the Icejam tournament was equally impressive. Leading the Bandits to a semi-final appearance, he recorded 9 goals and 6 assists, further solidifying his reputation as a clutch performer in high-stakes situations. His contributions were invaluable, and his leadership played a pivotal role in the team’s success.

Beyond his impressive statistics, Alistair was named a first-team All-Star defenseman, a well-earned recognition of his strong two-way play and defensive presence. In total, Alistair amassed 15 goals and 13 assists over 12 games in January, a testament to his skill, versatility, and commitment to his team.

Off the ice, Alistair is also a standout leader, earning the respect of his teammates through his dedication and work ethic. His well-rounded athleticism extends beyond hockey, as he competes nationally in paddling, further demonstrating his discipline, physical fitness, and competitive spirit.

Alistair’s combination of athletic excellence, leadership, and consistent high-level performance is what makes him the U15 Major League Player of the Month.
