Evan "Stacks" up 8 Points to be Named the BCHL Player of the Week

It was an oustanding week for the Merritt Centennials. They were a flawless 3-0, outscoring their opposition 19-3, and they were led by their captain who had multiple point nights throughout. Evan Stack picked up 2 assists in a 7-1 triumph over Vernon on Tuesday, 2 goals and an assist in an 8-0 pummeling of Coquitlam on Friday, and another 2 clutch, 3rd period goals (including the game winner) to defeat Chilliwack 4-2 on Saturday. All in all, Stack finished the week with an impressive 4 goals and 4 assists in 3 games, and took a 4 goal lead over Chad Brears for the team lead in goal-scoring (27 for Evan to 23 for Chad).


The Centennials were so strong that they even received 2 honorable mentions this week, including forward Brandon Bruce who scored in all 3 games and finished with 4 goals and 2 assists, and defenseman Richard Sabourin, who had a phenomenal game on Saturday and finished the week with 3 assists, following a 9 game pointless drought.

*It's worth noting that this is the 2nd player of the week the Centennials have received this season. The first one came near the tail end of their 7 game winning streak when Lino Chimienti got 2 shutouts in 2 games. And then after a frustrating 6 game slide, the Cents had maybe their best week of the season to pick up another player of the week nod.

***I will try to get both Evan Stack and Brandon Bruce on the pre-game show ahead of Friday's game vs Trail
