First-year defender Alex Knesaurek is this week’s MUSCLE MLK Male Athlete of the Week.

Alex was steady on the defensive line all weekend for the Tigers.

He earned Sunway Player of the Game honours for his solid defensive play in Saturday’s 2-0 win over the visiting Moncton Aigles Bleus.

On Sunday, he was a key part of the Tigers defence again, playing another full 90 minutes keeping the Moncton players to just four shots on net.

A native of Toronto, Ont., Alex is a management student.
