John Tavares keeps living up to his "special player" billing. The Oshawa Generals forward was named the Canadian Hockey League's player of the year Saturday.

Tavares, from Oakville, Ont., broke Wayne Gretzky's record for goals in a season by a 16-year-old, with 72.

(Richard Lam/Canadian Press) "I didn't really realize how special that was until I broke the record in Ottawa and got a standing ovation," Tavares said. "It's pretty amazing to do something like and break the record the greatest player in the game broke.

"I still don't believe it. It's hard to believe because I just go out and play."

Tavares also had 62 assists in 67 games for the Generals.

He was also the youngest player to win the Red Tillson Trophy as the Ontario Hockey League's most valuable player.

The CHL is the umbrella organization for the Western, Ontario and Quebec major junior hockey leagues.

Tavares was the CHL's rookie of the year last season.

The OHL allowed him to play in the league at 15 because he met the requirements to be a "special player."

Tavares has amassed 117 goals and 94 assists in 132 career OHL games.

The six-foot, 183-pound forward isn't eligible for the NHL draft until 2009.

Tavares was chosen the CHL's MVP ahead of finalists Kris Russell, a defenceman with the Western Hockey League's Medicine Hat Tigers and forward Mathieu Perrault of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League's Acadie-Bathurst Titan.

Previous winners of the award include Sidney Crosby, Brad Richards, Eric Lindros and Mario Lemieux.

"To see my name on an award with such great players and guys with such great careers and great success, not only in junior, but in the NHL is an amazing achievement and something I'll remember for the rest of my life," Tavares said

I'm actually hoping the Rangers have a bad season so they can draft Tavares..I will love seeing him play on Broadway and the fans will really endure this kids..

[jec1]

I don't see him with the Rangers. He'll probably end up in the west coast.

[z187]

Leafs will be shit, maybe they will draft him

i doubt it though, big things never happen to them.

I don't know about the west coast..NHL need to have a winner in New York or at least see him go to one of the original six.
