Dairy Farmers of Manitoba Athlete of the Week

The Powerland Rural High School Athlete of the Week is Eric Bossuyt of the Sanford Sabres hockey team.

This 6’0” forward scored all six of the team’s goals in the last two games he played for the Sabres last week. His offensive out-burst helped secure two victories for the team. During the season he has accumulated 12 G, 5 A for 17 points, with 4 penalty minutes in only 10 WHSHL league games. Coach Mike Bellisle states, “Eric and his line mates have been dominant when together this season, with Eric having the hot hand over the past several weeks. He has a quick release and a nose for the net that has been honed through consistent hard work in practice. 

In grade 11, he maintains an 89% academic average, while also participating in baseball and badminton.
