For the second week in a row, a Grande Prairie Storm player has been named Alberta Junior Hockey League Player of the Week.
Alex Atwill was recognized for his gameplay, earning six points, including a hat trick between October 16th and 22nd. The Storm forward got two assists against the Canmore Eagles on October 21st and recorded four points the following night against the Olds Grizzlys, including three goals.
Going into the Storms’ Wednesday, October 25th game against the Whitecourt Wolverines, the 20-year-old was tied second in the league for scoring with 24 points, including 10 goals, and was leading the Grande Prairie Team. Atwill recorded another three assists in the Storm’s 5-3 win over Whitecourt.
The Grande Prairie team will be on the road for the next three games, starting with a back-to-back stop in Bonnyville on Friday and Saturday, where the 8th-place Storm will face the 7th-place Pontiacs and look to extend their five-game win streak.
