The 21-year-old was also selected to the All-NAHL team.

The accolades marked the latest in a string of honors for Vidmar, who was tabbed the NAHL South Division Most Valuable Player and Forward of the Year last week.

Vidmar paced the NAHL in points with 80 and goals with 35. Both are the highest totals in the league since the 2011-12 season. He also led the circuit with 11 game-winning goals, the most in the league since the 2007-08 campaign. The Malmö, Sweden native topped all NAHL forwards with a plus-37 rating, and earned two NAHL Forward of the Month honors.
