Lloydminster Bobcats goaltender Bailey Brkin has been named the AJHL Defensive Player of the Week.
In his first two starts as a member of the Bobcats, Brkin went 2-0 with a 1.00 GAA and a .971 save percentage, which earned him the title of AJHL Defensive Player of the Week. Brkin says he feels grateful for the recognition and that his teammates are a big part of him receiving the award.
“In both games, they helped clear pucks in tight, they blocked shots and kept a lot of pressure to the outside. At the end of the day, we went 3-0 this week and that’s most important.”
He had spent time with the Swift Current Broncos, Kooteney Ice and Spokane Chiefs before joining Lloydminster.
