Clippers goalie had quit hockey, now he’s the BCHL Player of the Week
NANAIMO — He wasn’t even supposed to be playing junior hockey this year, and now Evan DeBrouwer is the BCHL Player of the Week.
The Clippers goalie had a pair of wins last weekend against Trail and Penticton, but what really turned heads around the league was his shutout performance in Penticton on Saturday night.
Debrouwer made 46 saves to blank the best team in the BCHL.
The Vees had only one other regulation home loss since the beginning of the 15-16 season, and DeBrouwer and the Clippers handed Penticton it’s first setback at the South Okanagan Events Centre in the current campaign.
