Chris Culligan of the UNB Varsity Reds men’s hockey team is the Subway Atlantic University Sport Male Athlete of the Week for the week ending November 18, 2012.
Culligan, a fourth-year Kinesiology student from Howie Center, N.S., had a five-point weekend as Varsity Reds improved to 9-3-0 on the season and into a first place tie following a pair of home wins over the Dalhousie Tigers and Acadia Axemen.
In Friday night’s 6-3 win over the Tigers, Culligan was named the player of the game after recording assists on three of the V-Reds’ six goals.
In Saturday’s first place battle with the CIS No. 2-ranked Acadia Axemen, Chris was named the game’s second star after scoring a short-handed goal late in the first period to put UNB up 1-0 after 20 minutes and then setting up line mate Tyler Carroll on the power-play for UNB’s fourth goal of the night to hand Acadia their first road loss of the season.
Chris, the team captain of the two-time defending AUS champions, is currently riding a six-game scoring streak and is second in league scoring with 15 points in 10 games played.
