The BCHL recognized the good play of the Trail Smoke Eaters over the weekend, in particular that of Cody Bardock by awarding the six-foot-five defenceman with the BCHL Player of the Week honour.
Bardock lifted the Smokies to identical 3-2 wins against Nanaimo Clippers and Salmon Arm SilverBacks on the weekend. The Lethbridge native scored the winning goal in both games, including a second-overtime period blast against the SilverBacks on Saturday.
Bardock earned first star in the Salmon Arm match and was named the game’s second star against the Clippers Friday.
The 20-year-old has counted four goals and an assist in 10 games since joining the Smoke Eaters last month from the Sherwood Park Crusaders of the AJHL.
