Male Soccer Athlete of the Week
Joel Badger – Douglas Royals

Second year midfielder, Joel Badger led the charge for the Royals in the opening week of play, helping the team secure a six-point weekend with wins over the Langara Falcons and the defending PACWEST champion VIU Mariners. Badger, who returned from a season ending injury last year, was a consistent threat on the field this past weekend and a focal point of the Royals attacking phase. Logging a full 90-minutes each game, his tireless work rate and pressure on the defence netted him a goal and a game winning assist in the first two games.
