Ashton Abel has earned the AJHL's defensive player of the week award for the second time this season.

This is the second time Abel has received the award in the past month.

The netminder has backstopped the Okotoks Oilers to a 15-0-1 record when he's between the pipes, including back-to-back wins against Olds and Camrose this weekend.

Abel leads the league with a 1.58 goals-against average, and a .932 save percentage.
