HKY: ALB forward posts five points in Championship series
ALB's Prokop earns CW Player of the Week honours
CALGARY - Alberta's Josh Prokop was named the Canada West Hockey Player of the Week by the conference Tuesday.
Prokop helped spark the scoring in the Championship-sealing game two, when he rushed a defender and blocked the pass to get the puck over to teammate Gary Haden, who finished the play with a quick goal.
He then notched two scores of his own in the second period. The Edmonton, AB product sped in on the right side, snapping a quick and lethal shot up past the goaltender's shoulder to beat him on the short side.
A few minutes later, he did it again. This time, he snuck in to bat home a loose puck floating around the crease.
On the weekend, Prokop posted two goals and three assists as his Golden Bears convincingly claimed their fourth conference title in five years.
The team will be back in action March 31-April 3 at the U SPORTS Championships at Acadia University.
