Austin Uecker – Helena Bighorns
Frontier Division Star of the Week: Austin Uecker, Forward, Helena Bighorns
First year Helena Bighorns forward Austin Uecker had himself a fantastic weekend, his best two game stretch of the season after recording six points against the Gillette Wild, maintaining a plus-minus of +5. During Friday’s 5-2 victory, the Sleepy Eye, MN native scored his 13th goal of the season and the fourth goal of the contest. Uecker then followed up by having a standout game scoring two goals (one in the second period and one in the third), in addition to notching three assists, picking up a possible five out of eight points. With this fantastic weekend, Uecker has recorded at least one point or more in the last four consecutive games.
“Austin has been a big part of our offence, especially this weekend. Although points didn’t come at first, they are coming now and we are happy to have him on our side,” stated Helena Head Coach Damon Hanson.
