Sean Wilkinson of the Ridgefield High School boys hockey team and Katharine Macomber of the Darien girls hockey team are this week’s winners of the BlueStreak-Overtime FCIAC Player of the Week award.
Wilkinson and Macomber will each receive plaques and T-shirts from BlueStreak.
Wilkinson, who is usually noted for his intangible contributions, according to his coach, Shaun Gallagher, though he leads the team in scoring, had the winning goal on a penalty shot and an assist in a 3-2 win over Greenwich in the semifinals of the FCIAC Tournament. He also assisted on the Tigers’ lone goal in a 6-1 loss to New Canaan in the title game.
Macomber, the Blue Wave’s goaltender, stopped 24 shots in a state quarterfinal win over Hamden and made 29 saves in a 2-0 shutout of Simsbury, stopping six breakaways and a penalty shot. In the championship game, Macomber was working on another shutout before New Canaan scored a late goal on a penalty shot for a 1-0 victory. Macomber made 20 saves.
Nominations for next week’s award will be accepted starting at noon today and run until noon next Tuesday.
