Colorado Avalanche: Mile High Sports Names Nathan MacKinnon Sportsperson of the Year

Colorado Avalanche superstar Nathan MacKinnon is coming into his own. He’s finally getting the accolades he deserves. Hopefully he gets the accolades when it matters most — the Stanley Cup — and second most — the NHL Awards. However, we’ll take the attention he gets now.

One publication that’s having to sit up and take notice is Mike High Sports, a magazine for Colorado sports. MacKinnon has been featured in the magazine before. However, he’s finally won top honors.

The magazine has named MacKinnon Sportsperson of the Year for 2019.

As the magazine points out, choosing Nate wasn’t a guarantee.
