The early season efforts of Battlefords North Stars captain Cody Spagrud have earned him Ibas SJHL Defenceman of the Week honours for the week ending Sept. 24.
Spagrud picked up assists in each of the North Stars’ previous three games, against Melfort at home and then on the road against Humboldt and La Ronge.
In other honours, the Canalta Hotels SJHL Player of the Week was Justin Ball of the Melfort Mustangs with two goals and five assists over three games, which included a goal and two assists against the North Stars in a 4-3 overtime defeat at the Civic Centre.
The goaltender of the week was Dane Dow of the Humboldt Broncos. Like Ball, a highlight for Dow was his performance up against the North Stars, stopping 23 of 25 shots in a 4-2 home-ice win in Humboldt.
Finally, the SJHL Rookie of the Week was forward Aiden Bulych of the Yorkton Terriers, who had a goal and three assists in the Terriers’ win over Weyburn.
