Thunder Bay North Star forward Quinn Rempel is the Pizza Hut player of the week.
In three games this past week the 19-year-old native of Salmon Arm, B.C. registered points in each of them, accumulating eight in total, helping the North Stars record a trio of victories.
He began with a pair of helpers in a shootout triumph over Dryden on Wednesday, followed that up with a career-high four-goal, one-assist performance over Iron Range on Friday and wrapped up his week by setting up another in a shutout of the Ironheads Saturday.
Rempel’s offensive outburst allowed him to move into a share of the team lead in scoring with 19 points, including 11 goals, as well as slide into a tie for eighth in league production.
The forward’s efforts also extended a consecutive game point streak to four. He also sits tied for third in the SIJHL in game-winning goals with two. The North Stars are 8-2-2 in contests in which he records at least one point.
Honourable mention for player of the week award went to Anthony Calabrese, (D) Wisconsin Wilderness; Jordan Larson, (F) Fort Frances Lakers; Anthony Wolfe, (F) Sioux Lookout Flyers; Kim Wildhaber, (G) Dryden Ice Dogs; Jason Dzurik, (G) Duluth Clydesdales and Garrett Allen (F) Iron Range Iron Heads.
At the conclusion of the 2011-12 regular season the top player in the SIJHL will be presented with the Pizza Hut player of the year award.
