Make it two in a row for Boyd Ballard.
Ballard - who tended goal for the Weyburn Red Wings last season
and is now a freshman netminder with Providence College in Rhode
Island - earned his second consecutive Hockey East 'Rookie of
the Week' award on Monday.
The Weyburn product made 62 stops and recorded two wins for the
Friars as they defeated Army 5-4 on Friday and UMass-Lowell 5-3
on Sunday. In the latter win, Ballard made a career-high 38 saves
and improved his record to 4-0, posting a 2.72 GAA, a .915 save
percentage and one shutout.
As well, he was on fire against the River Hawks power-play, giving
up only two goals on 12 chances.
Last year, Ballard was an SJHL All-Star with a 23-3-4 record,
a .908 save percentage and a 2.90 GAA, helping the Wings win both
the league championship and the Anavet Cup.
