The 20-year-old Gladue scored three goals and five assists in three games last week to help the Ice Wolves push their way into second place in the Itech Conference.

He had 59 points in 52 games and will be expected to be a major contributor when the playoffs begin this weekend. Gladue was just one of a number of La Ronge players to excel last week. Doug Exner, Jeff Marshall, and Tanner Shultz were also considered for the weekly award. Humboldt's Alex Lussier also made the short list.
