Nick Wicks has wasted little time in making an impact at the collegiate level of men’s hockey.
The 21-year-old forward from Tsawwassen was named Western Collegiate Hockey Association (WCHA) Rookie of the Week after leading the Alaska Anchorage Seawolves to a 4-0 win over in-state rival Alaska on Saturday night. Wicks scored the first two goals of his NCAA career and also assisted on another. He was credited with five shots on goal and also dominated in the face-off circle by winning a team-high nine draws.
The South Delta Minor and Delta Hockey Academy product signed with the Seawolves after a productive three-year stint with the B.C. Hockey League’s Merritt Centennials. He also spent one season in the Pacific Junior Hockey League where he led the Richmond Sockeyes in scoring.
The Seawolves (1-3-0 overall) welcome Omaha this weekend and then head to Alabama Huntsville.
