Melfort Mustangs forward Aidyn Hutchinson has been honoured as the SJHL’s SGEU MVP of the Week.

Hutchinson lit the lamp on a handful of occasions this past weekend, during a pair of division games.

The 20-year-old scored a total of five times, three of which came in a hat trick effort against the La Ronge Ice Wolves on Friday, as his club earned a point in a 6-5 overtime loss.

Then, on Saturday, the assistant captain added a pair of goals in a 3-0 shutout victory over the number-one ranked Flin Flon Bombers.

Hutchinson has been on fire since mid-November, registering at least a point in 16 of his last 17 contests.
