Dairy Farmers of Manitoba Athlete of the Week
Alexander Kubinec
The Dairy Farmers of Manitoba High School Athlete of the Week is Alex Kubinec of the Treherne Collegiate.
This multi-sport athlete currently captains both the Pembina Tigers hockey team and the Treherne Tigers basketball team. A defenceman on the hockey team he recently led the Tigers to two victories accumulating 10 points, 3 goals and 7 assists over that span. Prior to the winter break he also led the Tigers volleyball team to silver at the Provincial Volleyball Championships where he was named a tournament all-star. Athletic Director Darrel VanDenBussche states, "Alex is an all around athlete who seems to excel in all sports that he participates. He is a dominant defender for the hocky team and on the basketball court he is a visiting teams' nightmare, trying to stop his aggressive, big body on both offence and defence."
This grade 12 student maintains a 78% academic average, while also participating in baseball, golf, badminton and track & field throughout the year at Treherne Collegiate.
