Jan 5, 2015 | 5:27 AM

Kaytlyn Chickowski, forward with the Prince Albert A&W Bears, has been announced the third December Star with the Saskatchewan Female Midget AAA Hockey League.

Chickowski is currently in her sophomore year with the Bears and has surpassed her rookie season points-wise and is currently on a six-game point streak, according to vice-president of the league, Blaine Stork.

She had a stellar month in December with two goals and three assists, which helped the Bears pick up four wins in five games.

Stork said Chickowski ‘can be counted on in key situations throughout the game as evidenced by her three power play and two game winning goals this season.’

He added she logs minutes that are important on the penalty kill.
