Six points in two games, a four-point night from the blue line and 82 saves in back-to-back starts. Beaver Valley’s Jonas Bourchier, Revelstoke’s Maddox Popke and Quesnel’s Rylan Harder are the BCHC’s 3 Stars of the Week for October 19–25.
Top Forward: Jonas Bourchier, Beaver Valley Nitehawks

Bourchier recorded a point on six of Beaver Valley’s seven regulation goals across two games, delivering a goal and two assists each night.
On Friday against Williams Lake, he factored into all three Nitehawks goals, helping build a 3–1 lead before the Mustangs rallied for a 4–3 shootout win. Bourchier also converted his shootout attempt.
He followed that with another three-point performance in Saturday’s 4–2 win at Osoyoos. After assisting on the tying goal, Bourchier scored to put Beaver Valley ahead 2–1 in the third period. With the game tied again late, he provided the lone assist on Ayden Probe’s power-play winner with 2:05 remaining.
