Brooks Bandits forward Nathan Free has been named the Alberta Division Player of the Week.
The 2024 NHL Draft prospect notched three goals and an assist in the Bandits first two games of the Alberta Division Final against the Sherwood Park Crusaders.
In last Friday’s Game 1, Brooks reeled off eight straight goals, starting in the second period, to win 8-1. Free had a goal and an assist as part of the onslaught. In Game 2 the following night, the Calgary, Alta. native scored two goals in his team’s 5-1 victory. He was named first star of the game.
Free leads the Alberta Division with eight goals in the postseason and is tied for second in points with 11 in nine games, just one back of the league lead.
