Blackfalds Bulldogs forward Joey Melo has been named the BCHL’s 1st Star of the Week.

Melo led the BCHL in points last week with six in two games, piling up two goals and four assists in a pair of Blackfalds wins.

On Friday night, the Alaska Anchorage commit collected a pair of assists in his team’s 4-0 victory over the Vernon Vipers. A night later, Melo produced a career-best four points, getting in on each of his team’s goals, in a 4-2 win against the Spruce Grove Saints. With his team down 1-0 in the first, the 19-year-old scored to tie the game before intermission, then totaled another goal and two assists in the third to complete the comeback.

The Jr. Coyotes grad and Georgetown, Ont., native leads Blackfalds in all offensive categories with 14 goals, 18 assists and 32 points in 36 games this season.
