Male Athlete of the Week – John Willsey (Orillia, Ont.) – 3rd Year – Waterloo Warriors
The Waterloo Warriors men’s curling rink made waves at the U SPORTS Curling Championship and this week’s OUA Male Athlete of the Week – John Willsey – played a significant part in the team’s fourth place finish on the national stage.
As a whole, the Warriors skip led the rink to five wins at the championship event, including a strong victory over eventual gold medalist Alberta, before ultimately bowing out in the bronze medal game at the hands of UNB. On a personal note, the third year curled his way to a Second Team All-Canadian nod after curling 80 percent for the championship.
