Gavin Harrison of the Bonnyville Pontiacs is the Inter Pipeline AJHL Rookie of the Week for a third time in the 2025-26 AJHL season. The 2009-born rookie forward scored a hat trick and collected five points (3G, 2A) to hold the lead in the AJHL rookie scoring race.

Harrison (Cold Lake, AB) recorded his second hat trick of the season, including his first game winning goal, and an assist in a 7-1 road win over the Canmore Eagles on February 14th. The Swift Current Broncos (WHL) draft pick posted his 22nd assist of the season on February 15th when the Pontiacs finished their three-game road trip with a 4-2 loss in Calgary.

Gavin Harrison leads all AJHL rookies with 44 points (22G, 22A) and nine games remaining in the Pontiacs search for a spot in the post-season.
