Oct. 27 - Fifth-year senior Mike Reimer of the University of Manitoba Bisons has been named the Canada West Hockey Player of the Week for the week ending October 27, 2002.

The 5’8”, 180 pound native of Swift Current, SK scored three times in Manitoba’s two-game sweep of the visiting UBC Thunderbirds on Friday-Saturday, October 25th-26th. Two of the right winger’s three goals proved to be the deciding goal as Reimer netted the game-winning goal in both victories over UBC.

The Human Ecology student netted the winner at 9:18 of the third period in Friday’s 2-1 victory and then scored the decisive goal in Saturday’s 6-0 win.

Reimer has now scored each of Manitoba’s three game-winning goals this season and leads the conference in that offensive category. He finished the weekend series with three goals and an assist and is second on the Bisons’ scoring list with 4-1-5 in six Canada West Hockey games.

For his efforts Reimer was also named the Canada West Male Athlete of the week.
