SGEU MVP of the Week: Cole Brown, Melville Millionaires
Goals seemed like the last piece of the Melville puzzle, and many, including Brown, stepped up big over the last couple of weeks. Playing with Preston Baerwald and Isaiah Bagri this past week, Coach Doug Johnson has found a way to unlock the right winger and will look to keep that danger from the 19-year-old going consistently.
Week Stats: 2 GP, 4 G, 1 A, 5 PTS, natural hat trick vs WAR
SuperU Defenceman of the Week: Louis Nadeau, Melville Millionaires
Nadeau was a driving force in Melville’s two thunderous wins this past week, and he was also named captain. He was also on SJHL Weekly this past Monday, though we at the league take no credit for a ‘show bump’ (ok, maybe a little). The genuinely high-character defender notched three points in Tuesday’s big win over league No. 1 Warman, and has been excellent in his workhorse role all season, especially with the extra workload due to injury. Newcomer Mason Eggen appears to be on his left for now.
Week Stats: 2 GP, 0 G, 4 A, 4 pts, named new captain of the Mils
SaskTel Goalie of the Week: Noah Kraus, Melville Millionaires
It’s another marvellous week for one of the league’s many serious contenders for SaskTel Goaltender of the Year. Kraus has six wins in a row and has made only two starts in 12 games so far this year, with a save percentage under .900. Kraus, likes the Mils as a whole, have been almost unbeatable at home all season; he’s 7-1 at the CN Community Centre at the time of this writing, plus back-to-back recipient of this award.
Week Stats: 2-0-0-0, 2.50 GAA, .921 SV%, wins over WAR and NIP
