The Bruins played four games this week with a home win against Melville followed by a split in back to back in La Ronge followed by a road win against Melfort. Picking winners was a little tough this week, but after this week I should be in attendence for the Bruins games for the rest of the year.
Player of the Week
Dylan Smith 1 Goal and 5 assists.
Smith moved back on to the top of SJHL scoring lead at 29 points as he picked up 6 points. Playing a little bit closer to home on the weekend, Smith responded with a couple of big games at the end of the Bruins road trip as he scored a goal and added 4 helpers in the wins over La Ronge and Melfort.
Rookie of the Week
Taylor Reich 2 goals 1 Assist
Bruins Head Coach Keith Cassidy has called Reich his "utility fielder" this season. Reich has bounced around from line to line this season, not because of poor play but rather because he plays so many roles in the Bruins lineup. Reich started off the week playing on the Smith and Olson line and responded with a pair of goals in the Bruins win over the Mils.
Unsung Hero of the Week
Tyler Kauk
One of the big reasons for the Bruins success early in the season has been the play of Kauk and Austin Yano on the blueline. Yano has provided the Bruins with plenty of offensive firepower while Kauk has been a rock on the backend. Kauk was a physical force in the Bruins win over Melville as he delivered a couple of solid of big hits. Kauk, not only hits hard, but he's also got a rocket of a shot from the point.
Bruins have a quiet week ahead, as they host Notre Dame tomorrow night and Yorkton on Wednesday night at Spectra Place and then they are off until next Wednesday as they face the Hounds in Carlyle.
