Mackenzie Belinski of the Yellowhead Chiefs has been named the Manitoba AAA Midget Hockey League’s Chicken Chef and DEKALB Player of the Week.

In two games last week, Belinski scored three goals and added an assist. On Friday Dec. 18, the first year forward netted a hat-trick, including the game winning goal in overtime. Belinski’s efforts were instrumental in helping the Chiefs hand the league-leading Eastman Selects their second loss of the MMHL season. 

Then on Sunday Dec. 20, the Vista native added an assist in a 3-0 win against the Brandon AAA Wheat Kings. For the year, Belinski now has 22 points in 22 games including points in 11 of his last 13 games. 

The other nominee for the Player of the Week award was Dustin Mozdzen of the Parkland Rangers.
