Butler, Demale named Huskies Athletes of the Week: Oct. 10-16.

Men's football player Ryan Butler and women's hockey player Shae Demale have been named Huskies Athletes of the Week, for the week of Oct. 10-16.

Ryan Butler, a second year defensive back from Mississauga, ON, is the Huskies male athlete of the week for the week of Oct. 10-16.

Butler helped lead the Huskies to a 21-13 win over the Mount Allison Mounties on Friday and was named Subway Player of the Game. Butler's interception and 72 yard return to the end zone tied the game at 10-10 in the third quarter. The second year commerce major added five tackles, and had the game sealing pass breakup in the end zone as the Mounties were driving late in the game.

Through five games played, Butler is tied for the AUS lead in interceptions (3), leads the conference in interception return yards (84) and leads the Huskies in total tackles (20.5).

Shae Demale, a fourth year forward from Red Deer, AB, is the Huskies female athlete of the week for the week of Oct. 10-16.

Demale scored four goals over a pair of games this weekend – a hat-trick in the Huskies 5-3 loss to the UNB REDS on Saturday, and one goal in the Huskies 4-2 win over the Mount Allison Mounties on Sunday.

Last season's AUS MVP, Demale leads the AUS with five goals scored through just three games.
