OUA All Stars
Congratulations to a trio of Badgers for earning OUA honours.
Holden Rogers has been awarded an OUA West Division Second Team All-Star Selection while first-year players Jacob Hoffrogge and Zack Stringer have been named to the OUA West Division All-Rookie Team.
I'm happy for these guys to be recognized for their performance this season. Holden believed in himself and in us when he made the decision to transfer to Brock from TMU. It's gratifying to see his passion rewarded.
Zack (Lethbridge, AB) and Jacob (Saskatoon, SK) have stepped into our league and proved they are among the best first-year players. I’m glad they both committed to travelling across the country to be Badgers.
Combined with last year's All-Rookie Team, the Badgers represent 50% of the OUA All-Rookie Team over the last two seasons. It will be fun to watch this young group continue to grow."
