It's a threepeat. For the third year in a row Riley Boychuk has won the Paul Gaustad Fitness Award, given to the player who performs the best in the Winterhawks' training camp fitness testing, which includes bench press, squat, vertical jump and shuttle run. 

Since the award's inception in 2009, Boychuk has won every year. Gaustad was on hand Thursday morning to present Boychuk with his award, along with the second place, third place and rookie winners.
