GIBSON NAMED NCAA 2ND STAR OF WEEK
Former OJHL star Greg Gibson (photo courtesy of RMU Athletics), now a member of the Robert Morris University Colonials, was named the NCAA's 2nd Star of the Week for his performance this past weekend.
The Burlington, Ontario native got his OJHL start in 2009-10 as a member of the Oakville Blades after previously spending a year in the GOJHL with the Junior 'B' Stoney Creek Warriors. After a quick start as a rookie with 11 points in 18 games played, Gibson was traded to the nearby Hamilton Red Wings, where he notched a point/game and his 38 points tied for the fifth best total on the squad.
He would again split the 2010-11 season between two teams, registering 67 points in 48 regular season games played with Hamilton and Huntsville Otters. Gibson joined the Otters mid-season for their push as the host of the 2011 Dudley-Hewitt Cup, Central Canadian Junior 'A' Championship and he was named the club's playoff and Dudley-Hewitt Cup Most Valuable Player as they fell to the OJHL Champion Wellington Dukes, 5-3, in the championship game.
Below is the official release from the NCAA website (www.ncaa.com):
