Vernon Vipers forward Braden Pimm has been named the British Columbia Hockey League's Player of the Week for the week ending November 8th, the league announced Monday.

Pimm scored four goals and totalled seven points last week, helping to lead the Vipers to four consecutive road wins while improving the team's league-leading record to 21-1. On Friday, Pimm set up Mike Collins' third period power-play marker that proved to be the eventual winner in a 5-2 victory over Prince George.

The 19-year old then picked up First Star honours in back-to-back games to close out the weekend. On Saturday, Pimm scored once and assisted on goals by Collins and Jonathan Milhouse in a 7-1 win over the Quesnel Millionaires. On Sunday, he took charge with a hat trick in the second period of a 6-0 victory over the Williams Lake Timberwolves.

Pimm, who is committed to attend Northeastern University next season, currently sits second on his team and eight in the BCHL in scoring with 36 points in 22 games played. He is on pace to shatter his career high of 24 goals and 54 points set during the 2008/09campaign.

The Vipers, who currently sit second in the Canadian Junior Hockey League rankings, return to the ice on Tuesday when they look to wrap up a perfect six-game road trip in Merritt.
