Bruin Weekly Winners Nov.25-Dec.4




The Bruins struggled on their recent stretch of games as they 1-4-1 starting with a pair of losses to the Weyburn Red Wings on November 25 and 26, but ended the week with a 4-3 win over the Yorkton Terriers.  The Bruins still remain in second place of the Sherwood Conference with 17-15-0-1 record, they’re 8 points back of Weyburn of first and two points ahead of Melville, the Mils do have four games in hand on the Bruins.

Player of the Week
Dylan Smith.

With the Bruins over the half way point of the season, Smith has probably been the top Bruin forward this season. Smith managed to register in six of his last seven games, and could’ve had a few points but had a few open net shots just go wide. Smith is one of the biggest reasons why the Bruins have the league's best power plays in the SJHL.

Defenceman of the Week
Denin Boesch.

With the injury to Connor Milligan and trades to Jeff Bartel and Lyndon Soper, Boesch had to play a lot of minutes for the Bruins this week. Boesch responded to the increased ice time with some of his best play of the season, especially in the Bruins Sunday win over Yorkton.

Rookie of the Week
Taylor Reich
 
Reich and Derek Whitehill were two of the best Bruins forwards during their recent road trip and their strong play continued on Sunday when the two formed a line with Tanner Froese and were on the ice for two of the Bruins three goals in the Bruins 4-3 win over Yorkton. Reich is currently on a 5 game point streak.

Unsung Hero of the Week
Dylan Schellenberg

Schellenberg has been welcomed addition for the Bruins since being acquired by Drumheller with his gritty play. In one shift in the Bruins win in Yorkton, Schellenberg had three solid hits. In the seven games with the Bruins, Schellenberg has dropped the mitts in 5 games.

The Bruins this week will take on the Melville Millionaires tomorrow, followed by a three game northern road trip with a pair in Flin Flon and a Sunday night game in Nipawin.
