Nov 29, 2022 | 12:27 PM

The Melfort Mustangs have won five of their last six games, earning points in all of them, which included taking three of a possible four points against the Flin Flon Bombers, this past week.

A huge factor for the Mustangs, against the league’s second-best team, was the play of linemates Zac Somers and Riley Ashe.

SGEU MVP of the Week: In both games this weekend Somers played a big part in Melfort’s offence, finding the back of the net four times and adding two helpers.

The 18-year-old has already doubled his stats from his rookie season as he sits with 14 goals (team-best) and 13 assists, good for 27 points (also team-best), which ranks him inside the top 10 in SJHL scoring.
