Emmett Sproule, of the men’s hockey team, is the UNB REDS/Papa John’s Pizza male Athlete of the Week.
Sproule scored four goals as the REDS won both weekend games to extend their season-opening win streak to 14 games.
In Friday’s 7-1 win over Acadia, Sproule registered a natural hat-trick and was named Player of the Game.
In Saturday’s 5-4 victory over Saint Mary’s, he was among five different goal scorers.
“Emmett has a tenacious work ethic and his hard work this year in practice is paying off and resulted in a hat-trick performance on our very important Joe Glenn tribute night,” said REDS’ head coach Gardiner MacDougall. “That was Emmett’s first hat-trick since minor hockey, and it gave our team a boost.”
Sproule and his teammates wrap up their first semester schedule with a home game, Friday, against UPEI, before visiting Moncton on Saturday.
