North Bay Battalion forward Brandon Coe is up for a pair of major awards. 

The high scoring Battalion forward has been nominated as a finalist for the Red Tilson Trophy for Most Outstanding Player and the Leo Lalonde Trophy for Overage Player of the Year.  

The League's Most Outstanding Player award is voted upon by accredited writers and broadcasters from across the League.

Coe is up for the award with Windsor Spitfires forward Wyatt Johnston who won the league scoring title this year (124 points).  

Big 6-foot-5 winger Brandon Coe led the Central Division champion Battalion with 101 points (34-67--101) this season, joining Wojtek Wolski (2005-06) and Justin Brazeau (2018-19) as just the third player in Battalion franchise history to reach the century mark in points.

The San Jose Sharks prospect rounded-out his OHL regular season tenure with 218 points (86-132--218) in 250 regular season games, all spent in Battalion green.

The League's Overage Player of the Year award is voted upon by OHL general managers. In that category, Coe is up against the West representative Ty Kartye of the Soo Greyhounds. 

A former third overall pick in the 2017 OHL Priority Selection, Coe has developed his game in North Bay, ascending to second on the North Bay Battalion career scoring list behind a past Leo Lalonde Memorial Trophy recipient in Justin Brazeau.

Coe, who played in 17 American Hockey League games last season, signed an entry level NHL contract with San Jose on Dec. 6, 2021.
