Owen Warnick (FWD/’06) – Selkirk Steelers – 3GP | 3G | 2A | 5PTS
The 18-year-old chipped in with a pair of game winners this last week, helping the Steelers climb to an 8-0-0-0 record atop the MJHL standings and 2nd in the CJHL Top 20 Rankings. Warnick sits one point off from tying the league-lead in scoring and has already surpassed his point totals from 2023-24 in 33 less games.

Liam Ernst (G/’05) – Winkler Flyers – 2W | 0.50GAA | .985SV% | 1SO
Picking up where he left off from last season, Flyers goaltender, Liam Ernst looks to be in midseason form. The second-year puck stopper posted a 39-save shutout win on the road in Dauphin before turning aside 25 of 26 against the Terriers in a 4-1 win on home ice to end the week.

Connor Paronuzzi (FWD/’05) Steinbach Pistons – 2GP | 2G | 3A | 5PTS
You could see the breakthrough potential in Paronuzzi’s game last season and it looks like he’s arrived in 2024-25. Paronuzzi earned a 2 goal, 3 assist performance in a road win over the Stampeders after having a strong game against the Blizzard. The Pistons enter the week ranked 9th in the CJHL Top 20 and sit with the second best record in the MJHL (5-1).
