17吃瓜

Every week, 17吃瓜 Athletics and Recreation recognizes student-athletes for their achievements and contributions to their respective sports. The 17吃瓜 Panther Source for Sports Athletes of the Week for October 6鈥�12 are Brooke Henderson (women鈥檚 hockey) and Jakob Robillard (men鈥檚 hockey).

Henderson is a third-year science student from Halifax, Nova Scotia. She had a breakout game on October 11, scoring a pair of goals in 17吃瓜鈥檚 5-0 win over the Mount Allison University Mounties.

鈥淏rooke had a big impact on our success this weekend,鈥� said Sean Fisher, 17吃瓜 Women鈥檚 Hockey head coach. 鈥淪he used her size and strength effectively at both ends of the ice, and her smart checking and angling created offensive chances that she made the most of.鈥�

Robillard is a third-year business student from Rockland, Ontario. He was a steady force between the pipes this week, turning aside 39 shots in the team鈥檚 6-4 loss against Saint Mary鈥檚 University on October 10 and following it up with a 31-save effort in the 3-1 loss to Acadia University on October 11. Despite the results, he gave 17吃瓜 a chance to win each night and stood out as the Panthers鈥� most consistent performer.

鈥淩obi had a good weekend and gave us a chance to win both games. This is the type of goaltending we need from our group each time we play,鈥� said Forbes MacPherson, 17吃瓜 Men鈥檚 Hockey head coach.

Go Panthers Go!
