2024 Bantam Player of the Year - Wyatt Cullen
The art world has Picasso, music has Mozart, and Minnesota Bantam hockey has this Moorhead Spud, whose creativity with the puck is only rivaled by those who invented the original color wheel.
This year's Bantam Player of the Year led Moorhead to a Bantam AA state championship in Grand Rapids, coming through in clutch moments and producing with panache with all eyes on his forward line. He totaled four points in three Bantam AA State Tournament games, including an assist to younger brother Joey for Moorhead's game-winning goal in the semifinals against high-powered Osseo-Maple Grove.
This year's Bantam Player of the Year is Moorhead's Wyatt Cullen.
