Bio
The Granary Kitchen RDP Athlete of the Week for January 24, 2022
Red Deer Polytechnic Kings Hockey goaltender Arik Weersink played an integral role in helping his team earn two important road victories against the Briercrest College Clippers this past weekend. Over the pair of games, Weersink impressively did not allow a goal on 78 shots, earning back-to-back road shutouts.
In Friday’s 3-0 win, the Bachelor of Business Administration Management student was rock solid, making 44 saves.
Once again, Lethbridge’s Weersink stood tall in the Kings’ net on Saturday, turning aside all 34 shots for shutouts in consecutive games. The third-year was named the Kings Player of the Game for his tremendous performance.
The Clippers had opportunities to score, including eight power plays over the pair of contests, but Weersink made timely and important saves to keep the opposition off the scoreboard.
Congratulations!
