Grande Prairie Storm netminder Nicholas Jones has been selected as the AJHL’s Defensive Player of the Week after two dominating performances between the pipes last week.

The Storm, thanks in large part to their goalie, went 2-0 from January 20th to the 26th. During that time, Jones managed to pick up his third shutout of the season.

The 2004-born tendie has won his last three starts, including a 5-1 victory over the Bonnyville Pontiacs on January 21st, and a 3-0 shutout against the Oil Barons in Fort McMurray on January 22nd.

Through the two games, Jones made an impressive 56 saves on 57 shots, boasting a .982 save percentage and just a 0.5 Goals Against Average.
