RDP Athletes of the Week: Oct. 17-19

Arilyn Toews had a strong weekend on the ice, helping the Red Deer Polytechnic Queens hockey team split their weekend series with the SAIT Trojans.

In Friday’s 2-1 win, the talented fifth-year forward evened the game up about halfway through the game. Then Toews scored the game-winning goal at 8:37 of the third period.

Despite the Queens dropping Saturday’s rematch 3-1, Toews put forth another good effort. Toews, a Bachelor of Science in nursing student from Wembley, sits third in ACAC goal scoring with three.

Next, Toews and the RDP Queens will play the NAIT Ooks.
