It was a strong finish to the regular season for Seattle Thunderbirds sharpshooter Cameron Schmidt.
The 18-year-old from Prince George is the WHL Player of the Week after tallying six goals and a plus-five rating during a three-win weekend for the T-Birds who clinched a playoff spot.
Schmidt is the only player in the league to join the 50-goal plateau after accomplishing that feat in a 4-0 road victory on Sunday against the Spokane Chiefs.
Since being acquired by the T-Birds at the trade deadline, Schmidt has tallied 24 goals and 16 assists in 33 games.
The Dallas Stars prospect finished third in league scoring with 100 points trailing only Marcus and Liam Ruck of the Medicine Hat Tigers.
Seattle takes on the Penticton Vees in their first-round playoff matchup, which begins Friday at 7:05pm from the South Okanagan Events Centre.
