BRENNEN MORGAN - 12U/PeeWee A Team
Brennen plays the game fast. He is a hard worker that is fearless and competes every shift. He likes to pressure the puck and creates a lot of turnovers. He is reliable and always gives his best effort. This past weekend Brennan was a force against CASAHA and Arapahoe, winning battles all over the ice. He is a great teammate and is always smiling.

Favorite thing outside of hockey: Enjoys spending time with teammates and friends outside of the rink. Also takes great pride in being a big brother and spends a large amount of his spare time hanging out with his brother Joshua, and plays a major roll in helping out with his baby brother Hayden.
Favorite thing about hockey: From the moment he walks into the rink Brennen relishes every aspect of the game. From putting on his gear to the feeling of the ice underneath him (and yes, even the smell of the rink), Brennen has a profound love for the speed and intensity that goes into every second he is on the ice. Putting it simply, Brennen says “that playing hockey is like coming home,” and the proof is he plays the game like he lives his life…all heart!
Player of the Week - 14U Bantam
CULLEN SIMPSON - 14U Bantam B
Cullen Simpson spent the week of practice putting in the extra effort that is needed to get better on the ice. During the games this weekend, he showed the benefits of his hard work with an outstanding game on Saturday. Even though he was held off the score sheet, he was a major factor in the win with his team play and he generated many scoring chances for himself and his team mates. On Sunday, however he finally broke through and scored a great rebound goal half way through the 3rd period to break the deadlock. After scoring the go-ahead goal, Cullen worked extremely hard to make sure it would hold up as the game winner by helping kill off two penalties. He showed great character this weekend not getting frustrated or down on himself when he wasn’t capitalizing on some of the chances he had. Cullen shook it off and went out for the next shift even hungrier.
