The Ohsweken Demons have earned two of the three honours as the Canadian Lacrosse League announced its first ever Stars of the Week. Selections are made by a vote among CLax’s general managers. Demons’ goalie Ben VanEvery was named top defensive player and teammate Chris Attwood topped the offensive end. Transition Player of the Week was Mark Farthing of the Brampton Inferno. Attwood had five goals and three assists to lead Ohsweken to a 13-9 win over the Oshawa Machine. The Machine’s Brad Levick, who had three goals and three assists in the loss, received honourable mention on offense along with Dylan Llord, who had three goals and four assists as the Inferno dumped the Iroquois Ironmen 18-11.

VanEvery made 45 saves and created numerous transition chances with his down-floor passing for the Demons. Honourable mentions went to Peel Avengers goalie Scotty Komer and Kyle Andrews of Brampton. Farthing had a hat trick for the Avengers and played a strong two-way game. Brice Queener’s pair of goals and an assist for Peel and Clay Hill’s defensive prowess and pair of assists earned them transition honourable mentions.
