The Owen Sound Attack has named veteran defenseman Chris Bigras the Becker Shoes Player of the Week for the week ending December 21st, 2014.

Bigras' biggest night came last Wednesday when he notched a career best five points against the Plymouth Whalers. The Elmvale native tallied two goals and three assists, setting the record for most points by a defenseman in one game in a 6-3 win over Plymouth.

On Thursday, Bigras and the Attack travelled to Niagara to take on the Ice Dogs. The Colorado Avalanche prospect had another fine night, notching two assists and a +2 rating in an 8-7 OT loss to the Niagara Ice Dogs. Bigras' two points extended his current point scoring streak to five games. Over that time, Chris has tallied four goals and nine assists, all during the month of December.

The Attack rearguard currently sits 2nd among OHL defenseman in points with 35 and first in goals with 12.

Bigras and the Attack will be back in action at home on New Years Day when they host the Kitchener Rangers. Game time at the Bayshore is 2:00pm. Tickets are available at the DJ's Furniture Attack Box Office, online at www.attackhockey.com or by calling (519) 371-7452.
