Jordon Cooke set a new Saskatchewan Huskies record this season with 19 victories.

Jordon Cooke's stellar play during his Western Hockey League career with the Kelowna Rockets has carried over to the university level.

The 22-year-old goaltender with the Saskatchewan Huskies has been named the Canada West outstanding player of the year and goaltender of the year for 2015-16.

Cooke posted a conference-best 19-5-0 record and .921 save percentage, as the Huskies tied a program record for wins in a season (22) and clinched top spot in Canada West for the first time since 1999-00.

The native of Leduc, AB posted 92-34-4-8 record in four seasons with the Rockets.

In his final season in Kelowna, 2013-14, Cooke was named the WHL's goaltender of the year.

Cooke was also named to the Canada West first all-star team earlier this week.
