Montreal, June 19, 2009 - Reebok Hockey would like to congratulate Pavel Datsyuk of the Detroit Red Wings and Roberto Luongo of the Vancouver Canucks for their outstanding performances in 2008-09, which culminated in both going home winners following last night’s NHL Player Awards in Las Vegas, NV.

Luongo collected the Scotiabank/NHL Fan Fav Award, the first-ever fan-driven NHL Award for the player voted as the best overall regular-season performer. He finished the season with 33 wins, was second in shutouts with nine, and fifth with a 2.34 goals against average.
