Toronto Maple Leafs prospect Mitch Marner was named tournament MVP.
Tkachuk - a Scottsdale, Ariz., native and the son of former NHLer Keith Tkachuk - had 30 goals and 107 points in 57 games during the regular season, and 40 points in 20 playoff games before the Memorial Cup. He's expected to be selected in the top five at this summer's NHL entry draft.
