For the Reporter<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p>\n The Seattle Thunderbirds’ Shea Theodore, the Western Hockey League’s highest-scoring defenseman this season, was named a first-team Western Conference All-Star on Thursday.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Theodore has 79 points on 22 goals and 57 assists for the playoff-bound T-Birds.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n He also set the team record for most goals by a defenseman in Seattle’s last game of the season, scoring two goals against the Tri-City Americans on March 16 to give him 45 career goals. He passed Deron Quint, who had 44 goals with the T-Birds over the 1993-94 and 1994-95 seasons.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Theodore is in third place in team history for career points and assists by a defenseman, behind both Craig Channell and Thomas Hickey.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Theodore, from Aldergrove, B.C., was selected by the Anaheim Ducks in the first round, 26th overall, in the 2013 NHL Draft.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n The T-Birds are preparing for a first round best-of-seven playoff series against the Everett Silvertips. Game 1 of the series is Saturday at 7:05 p.m. at the ShoWare Center.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n =====<\/p>\n<\/p>\n WHL WESTERN CONFERENCE ALL-STAR TEAMS<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p>\n FIRST ALL-STAR TEAM<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p>\n Goaltender<\/strong> – Jordon Cooke (Leduc, Alberta), Kelowna Rockets SECOND ALL-STAR TEAM<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p>\n Goaltender<\/strong> – Eric Comrie (Edmonton, Alberta), Tri-City Americans WHL EASTERN CONFERENCE ALL-STAR TEAMS<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p>\n FIRST ALL-STAR TEAM<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p>\n Goaltender<\/strong> – Tristan Jarry (Delta, B.C.), Edmonton Oil Kings SECOND ALL-STAR TEAM<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p>\n Goaltender<\/strong> – Patrik Bartosak (Koprivnice, Czech Republic), Red Deer Rebels * indicates unanimous selection<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n =====<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n The WHL announced the 2014 Awards Finalists in the following categories:<\/p>\n<\/p>\n WHL Rookie of the Year, Jim Piggott Memorial Trophy<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p>\n Eastern Conference<\/strong> – Nikita Scherbak (Moscow, Russia), Saskatoon Blades WHL Goaltender of the Year, Del Wilson Trophy<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p>\n Eastern Conference<\/strong> – Tristan Jarry (Delta, B.C.), Edmonton Oil Kings WHL Defenseman of the Year, Bill Hunter Memorial Trophy<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p>\n Eastern Conference<\/strong> – Josh Morrissey (Calgary, Alberta), Prince Albert Raiders WHL Most Sportsmanlike Player of the Year, Brad Hornung Trophy<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p>\n Eastern Conference<\/strong> – Sam Reinhart (Vancouver, B.C.), Kootenay Ice WHL Scholastic Player of the Year, Daryl K.
