Colorado Avalanche prospect report: Nicky Leivermann is player of the week

Another big week for a couple prospects. First up is the BCHL defender who scored four points this weekend including a hat trick - as a defender! Nicky Leivermann and the Penticten Vees of the BCHL scored 21 goals on the weekend and three came from our own Nicky. He was named BCHL player of the week for his efforts.

Ty Lewis put up five points last week, but that’s old hat for him.

Josh Anderson is back on the ice after missing a couple weeks for Prince George, he was back in time to play back to back games against the Edmonton Oil Kings.
