Striker Michael Henman of the UNBC Timberwolves men’s soccer team is the obvious choice as Canada West Player of the Week.

A historic weekend for Michael Henman.
A well-deserved conference recognition.
So proud of the UNBC Timberwolves Men’s Soccer striker. https://t.co/9s7VFWt0pa

In a doubleheader against the Victoria Vikes at Masich Place Stadium, he scored three goals in a 4-1 UNBC victory on Friday and added three more in a 3-0 triumph on Saturday.
No player in @CanadaWest record books (back to 2006) has scored back-to-back hat tricks.
That changed tonight.
