Every Monday we will be awarding three players who had a big week and giving them stars. We will be doing this week-to-week with points being collected throughout the season. The top three players will be recognized and presented an award during our final home game of the season.
The Swan Valley Stampeders didn’t have a great week, again. They went 0-2 last week, giving up 14 goals against while only scoring four of their own. Swan Valley now sits with a record of 10-40-2 and are currently riding an 11-game losing streak.
A tough year is nearing completion as the Stampeders only have six games left in their 25th season in the Manitoba Junior Hockey League.
This upcoming week, the Stampeders will host the Dauphin Kings Wednesday, Feb. 28 in our annual student game. Puck drop is scheduled for 12:30pm from the Centennial Arena. They follow that up with another trip to Neepawa Friday, Mar. 1 and will close out the week with against the Portage Terriers Saturday night at the Centennial Arena.
Three star point system is as follows:
1st Star = 3 points
2nd Star = 2 points
3rd Star = 1 point
THREE STARS (Feb. 18 – Feb. 25)
3rd Star
Ian Ness earns his first star selection of the season after the 19-year-old found his scoring touch. The 5’9” 155lbs shifty forward collected a goal and an assist last week in two games played.
2nd Star
Riley Fequet slips down one spot this week but, it wasn’t for a lack of effort. The 18-year-old from Beaumont, AB continues to impress every time he steps on the ice and continually gets better with each game played. The 6’0” 180lbs forward collected a goal and an assist in two games last week.
1st Star
Aidan Taylor takes over the first star selection this week after an impressive week in a Stampeder jersey. The 19-year-old speedster collected three assists in two games played last week.
