Estevan’s Megan LeBlanc was named the Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference Female Athlete of the Week for Dec. 2-8.
LeBlanc, who plays for the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology Ooks women’s hockey team, helped her squad defeat the MacEwan Griffins 1-0 in the Falun Female Frozen Challenge outdoor hockey game, to retain first place in the ACAC heading into the Christmas break.
