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.
Here again are the instructions for nominating an athlete.
