Fennell is tied for sixth amongst SJHL blueliners in scoring with two goals and 19 assists in 38 games. He is also the first member of the Mustangs to garner a weekly award this season. Other players that deserve consideration include Chris de Bruyn from Melville, and the Nipawin pair of Kyle Nichols and Patrick Carriere.

Langen is 11-14-and-4 on the year; while the Mils are 0-and-7 in games in which Langen was not a factor. The Saskatoon native also has a 3.31-GAA and .911-SPCT.
