Starting this week I'll be posting a weekly Bruins Award winners much like the SJHL Players of the week awards, but I'll give it to the top player, top rookie and unsung hero of the week.
Top Player of the Week
Matt Brykaliuk
3 Goals 1 Assist
It was a breakout week for the 1993 players on the Bruins roster, but especially for Brykaliuk who contributed for the Bruins in a big way throughout the week highlighted by a 3 point night against Humboldt on Friday night.
Top Rookie of the Week
Matt Brykaliuk
This probably won't be the first time a rookie takes both player and rookie of the week. Both Taylor Reich and Ben Johnstone deserve some recognition for their efforts last week. Reich moved on to the top line with Cole Olson and Dylan Smith and picked up a goal and an assist in the win over Yorkton. While Johnstone got a pair of goals and provided plenty of physical play.
Unsung Hero of the Week
Derek Whitehill
Whitehill is starting to find the scoresheet after picking up a goal and an assist on the week, but Whitehill's greatest contribution to the team hasn't showed up on the score sheet. Whitehill is one of the few 20 year olds on the team so his leadership is very valuable to the team. Whitehill also provides energy and strong work ethic to the Bruins lineup. Head Coach Keith Cassidy said it best after the win against Yorkton, "Guys like Whitehill and Jelinski haven't exactly been lighting it up this season on the scoresheet, but take them out of our lineup I'm not sure how many games we would've won without those guys."
I'll add a defenceman of the week award when I hit the road with the team in a couple of weeks, I find it's too hard to name a defenceman of the week just by going off of score sheets.
