SINGLETON, FISCHER AND CUNNINGHAM SELECTED AS WEEKLY AWARD WINNERS

The Canalta Hotels AJHL Player of the Week is Calgary Canucks Captain Bowden Singleton.  The hometown forward led the league in scoring last week with four goals and five points in two games played at the Annual AJHL Showcase.

On September 25th, Singleton (2004) opened the scoring for the Canucks with two goals in a 5-4 win over the Bonnyville Pontiacs.  He was recognized as the Viterra AJHL Player of the Game for his three-point (2G, 1A) night.  The third-year Canuck scored another two goals in the final game of the AJHL Showcase on September 27th as the Canucks shutout the Fort McMurray Oil Barons 8-0.  Singleton is on a four-game point streak since the start of the season totaling eight points (5G, 3A).

Teammate Carter Cunningham is the Inter Pipeline AJHL Rookie of the Week following a five-point (1G, 4A) performance in the two Canuck victories. The 2006-born forward from Lethbridge, AB recorded an assist against the Pontiacs then scored his first AJHL goal and added three assists versus the Oil Barons.  Cunningham joins the Calgary Canucks from the South Alberta Hockey Academy (SAHA U18) of the CSSHL.

The Alberta Ford Dealers AJHL Defensive Player of the Week is Olds Grizzlys goaltender Aidan Fischer.  The 2005-born goaltender posted a 2-0 record and a shutout at the AJHL Showcase in his first games with the hockey club.

With 38 saves, Fisher recorded a shutout in his first AJHL game with a 5-0 win over the AJHL’s newest franchise, the Devon Xtreme.  The 2005-netminder was awarded as the Viterra AJHL Player of the Game.  The following day, Aidan stopped 20 of 21 shots on goal to lead the Grizzlys to a 6-1 win versus the Bonnyville Pontiacs and end the week with a .983 save percentage.  Fisher was acquired from the British Columbia Hockey League (BCHL).
