The MFMHL is pleased to announce that Westman Wildcats defense Ashley Seekings has been selected as the CCM-Selkirk Source for Sports Player of the Week.
Seekings was instrumental in the Wildcats home victory in Hartney as she scored the Wildcats first goal of the game after she stole the puck in the neutral zone and rushed up the ice and buried her own rebound into the back of the net to tie the game at one.  Seekings would go on to score the game winner on the power play late in the 2nd period with a hard blast from the point. Seekings also played huge minutes throughout the game and was a force on the penalty kill. Seekings attends Vincent Massey Collegiate in Brandon  where the third year Wildcat is a Honour Student..  Congratulations Ashley!

The Wildcats defeated the Yellowhead Chiefs 3-2 last night in Hartney on Alumni Night in front of a large crowd.  Ashley Seekings was the hero of the night, scoring the team's opening goal on a strong individual effort and then scoring the game winner off a shot from the point on the powerplay.
