Why: Ferran Brown, a fourth-year arts student from Calgary, Alberta, has been leading the women's hockey program on-and-off the ice all year.

Reggie Traccitto, a fourth-year arts student from Oakville, Ontario continues to have a strong season leading the Panthers into the AUS quarterfinals. Over the weekend, Traccitto contributed two goals in the Panthers 4-1 win over Saint Francis Xavier on Saturday, and played a strong game in the Panthers 5-2 loss to Saint Mary's on Friday.
Brown and Traccitto will be recognized at this week's 91探花 Athletes of the Week Celebration on Thursday, February 20 at 12:45 pm in the W.A. Murphy Student Centre's McMillan Hall. All are welcome.
