Samuel Richard, of the men’s hockey team, is the UNB REDS/Papa John’s Pizza male Athlete of the Week.
Richard played a key role in the REDS 3-1 win over Moncton on Saturday, in the first game of the best of three Atlantic University Sport men’s hockey championship series.
He stopped 24 of the 25 shots he faced, earning player of the game honours.
“Sam’s consistency in his habits at practice and in games helped him have a standout performance in our team’s win in the opening game of the AUS Final,” said REDS’ head coach Gardiner MacDougall.
Richard and his teammates travel to Moncton for game two of the series on Tuesday. Game time is 7:00pm. If necessary, a third game would be played Thursday night, at the Aitken Centre.
UNB has qualified for the U SPORTS Championship tournament, in Toronto, March 13-17.
