Forward
Bearcat-of-the-week honours went to fourth- year Bearcat, Noah Archibald.
He picked up a pair of second period goals Friday which took the stuffing from the visiting Amherst Ramblers, giving Truro two wins in as many starts against those rivals. Playing a 200-foot game along the right side had been his forte, chipping when the opportunity arises.
He got his hockey start in the Truro and Area Minor Program, working his way through the classifications to the Bantam level where he suited up for two productive seasons with the Truro Major Bantams.
Next up was a single season with the Pictou County Weeks Midgets. At the end of that 2014 season, he was selected as a Bearcat territorial pick and drafted, as well, by the Moncton Wildcats.
After two seasons learning the junior game with the Bearcats, he sat on the DL last year for all but 19 regular season games. Clearly he’s looking to make up for lost time and is willing to do whatever he’s called upon for to contribute. He provides a physical presence in a shutdown role.

The Annual Teddy Bear Toss will be held on Wednesday, Nov. 29, during the Bearcats-mariners game. All teddy bears will be donated to the Christmas Index.
