The Manitoba U18 AAA Hockey League is pleased to announce Connor Hoemsen of the Southwest Cougars as the CCM Hockey Player of the Week, for the week ending November 10.
In 3 games for the Cougars this week Connor continued on his torrid pace, putting up 7 goals and adding 1 assist. He currently leads the league in goals (19) and is second in points (29). Connor has been playing excellent hockey this season, and has been a key contributor to the Cougars success. His ability to read the game, get into high-percentage scoring areas, and capitalize on opportunities has made him very difficult for opposing defenses to handle. Not only does Connor contribute offensively, he kills penalties, and is relied upon in key defensive situations. The Cougars assistant captain’s leadership in the locker room is invaluable, whether it’s encouraging his teammates or setting an example of work ethic. His commitment to constant improvement and his passion for the game have helped create a culture of hard work and perseverance within the team. Connor has signed his LOI to play for the Neepawa Titans of the MJHL next season.
