Second-year Bearcat Caleb Hart has earned Bearcat of the Week honours. Caleb has been a 200-foot player all year and is finally being rewarded on the score sheet. In Friday’s 3-0 win over Edmundston, his power-play goal was the winner. As a reliable Bearcat, he’s worked himself in a strong position, taking important faceoffs and getting time on the power play and penalty kill. His hard work and team play is paying off. Caleb got his hockey start in the Richmond Hill minor program, then on to the North Toronto association. Following bantam hockey in Markham, a family move brought him to Oakfield. He spent the 2017-2018 season with Newbridge Academy U18. As an undrafted midget, he made the most of his walk-on experience, being one of three rookies to crack the Bearcat lineup and learn the junior game last year. A low-maintenance player, he’s grown his game, receiving increased ice time and responsibility. His point count does not fully reflect his work ethic and contribution in so many ways.
