Kimberley Dynamiters December Player of the Month: Brandt Bertoia

On Tuesday January 9th the Kimberley Dynamiters named Brandt Bertoia as the December Player of the Month.

"It's an honour" Bertoia said. "It could have gone to so many other guys."

"Goind undefeated [in December] is a huge feat, and I think everyone contributed to that."

During December, the forward from Unity, SK, recorded three goals and eight assists in nine games, including four multipoint games.

"In December he was our best offensive player," head coach and general manager Derek Stuart said. "He is very deserving of the honor."

"That line in November and December, with Russell and McDonald, was our best forward line. Russell was the November player of the month, and Bertoia kept that going through December."

Bertoia would agree that his line is performing well, "a huge reason that my game improved is that I'm playing with some guys that just make it easy.

"I think our line gels quite well together and it's showing."

Bertoia shook the Player of the Month jinx on Tuesday, scoring the overtime winning goal against the Fernie Ghostriders.
