Players Bench Male Athlete of the Week: Josh Tarzwell

Josh Tarzwell extended his point streak to five games with a big weekend against the Cougars' crosstown rival, Calgary Dinos. On Friday, Tarzwell scored the tying goal with under six minutes to play in the third that ultimately sent the game to overtime. The forward followed up his clutch performance with a hat trick on Saturday. All three goals came in the second period, en route to a 6-2 win against top-ranked Calgary. Tarzwell also added an assist in the statement showing.

Along with Tarzwell's monumental impact on offence, the winger has also been increasingly valuable in the Cougars' own end. Tarzwell has played a large role on the Cougars' penalty kill.
