April 12, 2011 - BODYARMOUR® would like to extend its congratulations to our good friend and supporter Corey Locke of the Binghamton Senators, who the American Hockey League announced has been named the winner of the Les Cunningham Award as the AHL’s most valuable player for the 2010-11 season, as voted by coaches, players and members of the media in each of the league’s 30 cities. Corey Locke of the Binghamton Senators has also won the John B. Sollenberger Trophy as the leading scorer in the American Hockey for the 2010-11 campaign.
Locke leads the American Hockey League with 65 assists and 86 points for Binghamton this season, establishing career highs in assists, points and plus/minus (plus-13) while helping the Senators to their first Calder Cup Playoff berth in six years. Locke, who has recorded a point in 54 of his 69 games played for Binghamton, will finish as his team’s scoring leader for the fourth consecutive season.
Named a First Team AHL All-Star last week, Locke represented Binghamton at the 2011 AHL All-Star Classic – his fifth career appearance – and extended his own league record with his 10th and 11th career All-Star Game points.
