Dauphin Kings Prospect Reece Richmond has been named the CCM Player of the Week in the Manitoba AAA Midget Hockey League.
Reece had one goal and three assists last week for the Chiefs who won both of their games.
"It's something very special to me and it means a lot," said Richmond. "It wasn't all me though, the team really helped me succeed. One player gets recognized but I couldn't have done it without my teammates."
The Forrest, Manitoba native has been a stud this season for the Chiefs. In 26 games, Richmond has racked up 30 points (7G). Last year with the Midget Chiefs, he put up 16 points.
"I mean like I said, my teammates are the reason I'm having such a good season," said Richmond. "Our team is doing a really good job and I'm finding a way to put up points to help this team win."
The Chiefs are in a tie for third place in the league. They're 22-7-0-2 for 46 points which has them tied with the Brandon Wheat Kings and they're just two points back of the second place Winnipeg Thrashers.
"Yeah, it's been a really successful season so far for us," added Richmond. "We have a lot of good guys in the locker room and we're having a ton of fun. We get better every day."
Reece and the rest of the Chiefs play at home twice this weekend, once against Eastman and once against Interlake.
