According to the Thunder's General Manager Shaun Guest, he has had 42 saves for the win against Strathmore and is a natural leader on and off the ice.

"Austin's character itself is the most impressive part of his demeanour and he displays his positive attitude daily."

This week’s Thursday Thunder player is Reed Chalmers; presented by Save on Foods. 

Chalmers is a rookie forward that wears #18 for the Airdrie Techmation Thunder.

According to the Thunder's General Manager Shaun Guest Reed had a great weekend in scoring and playing great shut-down hockey on the PK (penalty kill).

"Reed's work ethic in practice was top notch and it's showing in his gameplay."

This week’s Thursday Thunder player is Dylan Westlake; presented by Save on Foods. 

Westlake is an Assistant Captain and wears number 8 on the Airdrie Techmation Thunder team. 

Westlake broke his collarbone early in October last year and has been sitting out of games since. This injury kept Westlake out of the games for three and a half months but did not stop Westlake from returning.  

This week’s Thursday Thunder player is Joey Haden; presented by Save on Foods. Haden wears number 23 on the Airdrie Techmation Thunder team. 

Haden has played for the Thunder for two seasons and has gotten a total of 73 points, with 40 points this season; 25 goals and 15 assists. 

Haden started out playing for teams like the CFR Bisons and the AC Avalanche. 

This past weekend Haden played very well, according to Shaun Guest the Thunder’s general manager.

Miller plays forward for the Thunder and this is his first season playing for the team. Miller has played for multiple teams including the former Korean Oil Barons and the Lloydminster Bobcats. Miller says that the Airdrie Thunder is a great team and is hoping they make it all way to provincials this season. 

This week’s Thursday Thunder player is Dace Carlson; number 13, the captain of the Airdrie Techmation Thunder. 

Carlson is very happy with the season so far and says they’ve got a really good group of players.

“I think it's been good. I hate talking personally, more of a collective guy. I think we've got a really good group of guys and I'm personally very happy with them and very happy with what's been going on.”  

In collaboration with Save on Foods and the Airdrie Techmation Thunder, we are launching a new project called the Save on Foods Thursday Thunder Player of the Week.
