M.L. hockey player named Telus Cup West Regionals All-Star
Meadow Lake’s Dawson Gerwing has been named a tournament All-Star for his standout performance at the U18 AAA Telus Cup West Regionals.
Gerwing is coming off his first season of play with the Warman Wildcats U18 AAA team, who hosted this year’s tournament, also featuring the winners of the Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and Northern Ontario AAA leagues, to determine who advances to the Telus Cup National Championship.
Despite entering the tournament based on their hosting duties after finishing the season fifth in the Sask U18 AAA League, the Wildcats hit the ground running in front of their home crowd, led in large part by the play of Gerwing and his eight points in four tournament games.
“I didn’t really have that many expectations going in, [and] didn’t really know about many of the teams we were going to be playing, so it was pretty cool for sure, and an honour,” Gerwing said of the recognition.
