Bio
Mr. Mikes RDP Athlete of the Week for March 20, 2023
It was a bounce-back performance for Kings goaltender Arik Weersink this past weekend in the championship final against the NAIT Ooks. Last weekend in the semi-finals against the Concordia University Thunder, Weersink allowed 12 goals in the three-game series on 105 shots. But his teammates in front of him helped him out as they managed to come back and win the series 2-1. Against the Ooks so far in the two games played, the Lethbridge native has just allowed two goals on 69 shots for a .971 save percentage. He was really needed in the Saturday night game as his team was outshot 38-24 in what was a one-goal game.
Following the Game 1 victory, Head Coach Trevor Keeper backed up Weersink’s stats by saying he was really dialed in and focused.
Game 3 will go this Friday in Red Deer at 7 pm with a chance at winning the team’s first title since the 1993/1994 season.
Mr. Mikes RDP Athlete of the Week for February 27, 2023
After picking up an assist and another shutout this past weekend, goaltender Arik Weersink is this week’s Kings Athlete of the Week. Back on February 18 when the Kings hosted the NAIT Ooks, Weersink stopped all 15 shots to help his team defeat the Ooks 4-0. Six days later, he would shut out the Concordia University Thunder as he steered away 23 shots. In both of these games, Weersink was named player of the game. He even picked up an assist on the third goal against the Thunder.
In the final regular season game, he was given the night off which means he is riding a two-game shutout streak and has not allowed a goal in 136 minutes. This goes all the way back to February 17 when he allowed a goal four minutes into the third period against the Ooks but still picked up the win. Along with his two-shutout streak, he also has a win in seven straight games where the Lethbridge goaltender has posted a 2.05 goals-against-average (GAA) and a .923 save percentage.
On the year, Weersink has a 2.76 GAA which places him in second but has the best winning percentage in the ACAC at 86 per cent.
Congratulations Arik and we look forward to cheering you and the Kings on during the playoffs in a couple of weeks!
