Pelletier Turns AHL Honor Into Fresh Fuel

Pelletier’s AHL Player of the Year nod gives him another reason to keep pushing, and he sounds like a player who knows the work is not done. Awards in the minors can be a nice line on the resume, but they also put a spotlight on the next step, which is where careers either take off or stall out. His comments suggest he is treating the honor as motivation rather than a finish line, and that is usually the right instinct.
