OWRE NAMED ATB FINANCIAL PLAYER OF THE WEEK
Medicine Hat, AB – The ATB Financial Player of the Week for the week ending Nov 3, 2013 is forward Steven Owre.
This is Owre’s first ATB Financial Player of the Week honour of the 2013-2014 season. Over the past week, Owre scored a pair of goals, assisted on another and had a +2 plus/minus rating in a trio of games. During the week the Tigers went 3-0-0-0.
The Tigers started the week on the road with a game in Prince Albert against the East Division leading Raiders. The Tigers played an all around solid game as they outshot the Raiders 49-22 and won the game 3-1. Owre picked up an assist on Tyler Lewington’s second period goal that turned out to be the game winner.
The following night the Tigers travelled to Saskatoon to take on the Blades. The shooting gallery continued for the Tigers as they outshot the Blades 43-23. Despite the difference in shots this game was closer on the score clock with the Tigers coming away with a 4-3 victory. Owre netted his fifth goal of the season in the second period. He redirected Tyler Lewington’s point shot passed the Blades goalie. Despite being only midway through the second period the goal stood up to be the game winner.
The Tigers returned home to host the Tri-City Americans in the final game of the week. The Tigers once again came away with a close victory beating the Americans 3-2 in a shootout. After falling behind 2-0 in the second period, Owre got the Tigers on the board with his sixth of the season. Owre wristed a beauty from the faceoff circle that beat Eric Comrie over his shoulder while the Tigers had the man advantage.
At the end of the week, Owre sat third on the team in goals (6) and ninth in points (9).
