May 22, 2024 – Brooks Bandits forward Logan Sawyer has been named the Alberta Division Player of the Week.
The Orangeville, ON product scored a goal and two assists in two games last weekend to put the Bandits one win away from clinching the Alberta Cup.
Sawyer notched a goal and a helper on Friday night in his team’s 4-3 loss to the Sherwood Park Crusaders in Game 3. He opened the scoring with a power-play goal 3:50 into the first period, then registered an assist on a goal later in the period.
A night later, Sawyer collected another point with the man advantage with an assist on Brooks’ power-play marker 53 seconds into the middle frame in an eventual 4-3 overtime win in Game 4.
The 18-year-old leads the Alberta playoffs with 13 points in 11 games and is tied for the postseason lead with seven goals.
Forward Nick Peluso was given an Honourable Mention for his three assists in two games, including the assist on the overtime winning goal.
The Bandits host the Crusaders in Game 5 of the Alberta Cup, which goes tonight in Brooks at 7:00 pm.
