SGEU MVP of the Week: Mason Bueckert, La Ronge Ice Wolves
A bit of a slower start for the perennial star is well in the rear-view mirror now, as Bueckert has goals in four of the last five and points in five straight games; nine points over that span. The Ice Wolves won three of four on their southern swing this past week, and Buckert’s production was a huge reason why.

SuperU Defenceman of the Week: Liam Hunks, Notre Dame Hounds

He also played massive minutes as the young Hounds pulled out three points from a pair with the North Stars on the weekend.
