For a second consecutive week, the Drayton Valley Thunder’s Taynton Lavender has been named AJHL Defensive Player of the Week.
With nine more points earned, the 2006-born defenceman now leads the AJHL with 16 points (6G, 10A).
The Thunder are also first in the AJHL South Division, with their defence leading the league in fewest goals against.
Additionally, Lavender was awarded AJHL Player of the Game in both Thunder road games on Oct. 16 and Oct. 17. He scored a goal and contributed two assists in a win against the Bonnyville Pontiacs and an overtime loss against the Lloydminster Bobcats.
This is Lavender’s third year with the Thunder.
