Goalie Aaron McDonnell took home the precious Hard Hat Player of the week Award for the 98 club this week as he turned in two solid efforts between the pipes this weekend. In Saturdays game with the Panthers Aaron played a large part in the Vipers earning a point in a 2-2 tie. On Sunday Aaron came in late in the second period and immediately stopped 2 Panther breakaways to keep the Vipers within striking distance. It was his gutsy play all weekend that got him the honors. Heath King, Brendan White and Kyle Hentosh were all considered as well.
