Two Drayton Valley Thunder players have received Player of the Week honours in the Alberta Junior Hockey League (AJHL).

Drayton Valley Thunder forward, Kadyn Chabot, is the Inter Pipeline AJHL Player of the Week. In two games from November 16 to 22, the 18-year-old scored 3 goals and 2 assists in consecutive Thunder victories.

The Cranbrook, BC native opened the scoring for Drayton Valley on November 20 and earned his second Viterra AJHL Star of the Game award of the season with a 4-point game (2G, 2A) in a lopsided 6-1 victory over Sherwood Park. Chabot scored his third goal of the weekend on November 21 when the Thunder defeated the Crusaders 7-4.

Kadyn Chabot is in his third season with Drayton Valley and currently leads the team in scoring with 5 points after being held off the scoresheet in the opening two games of the season. Chabot played his 100th AJHL career game on November 14, 2020, in Fort McMurray.

Also receiving honours this week is Thunder rookie, Mason Marcellus, who has been named the Merit Contractors AJHL Rookie of the Week. The 18-year-old newcomer recorded a 4-point week with a goal and 3 assists in two Thunder wins.
