Selkirk's Travis Herlein named BCIHL Player of the Week
By Contributor
Selkirk College forward Travis Herlein has been named the British Columbia Intercollegiate Hockey League’s Player of the Week for the week ending Sunday, November 14th, the league announced Monday.
Herlein was Selkirk’s top performer during a two-game Interior road swing that saw them come close to collecting points against BCIHL powerhouses Thompson Rivers and Okanagan. On Friday, the 21-year old scored a pair of goals in Selkirk’s 8-5 defeat to the TRU WolfPack. One night later, at Okanagan, he netted another pair — including a third period marker that brought his team within one — in an eventual 4-3 loss to the Coyotes. He finished the weekend with four goals in two games. Herlein now leads the Saints in scoring with six goals and eight points through 10 games. He joined the team via the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League’s Golden Rockets, where he scored 23 goals and 43 points during the 2009/10 season. Selkirk College is next in action the weekend of November 27th when they travel to the Lower Mainland to face Trinity Western and the University of the Fraser Valley.
