Wenatchee Wild forward Quinn Emerson has been selected as the BCHL 1st Star of the Week.

Emerson was a goal-scoring machine for the Wild last week, lighting the lamp six times. He also added a pair of assists for a league-high eight points in four games.

The native of Manhattan Beach scored once in Wenatchee’s Game 3 overtime win over the Salmon Arm Silverbacks on Tuesday night, then scored another two goals in Game 4 the following night, a 5-1 Wild win. He was named first star of the game.

After picking up an assist in his team’s 5-1 loss in Game 5 on Friday, Emerson exploded for three goals and an assist in the third period of Game 6, leading the Wild to a 5-1 win on home ice to force a deciding seventh game. He was again named first star.

The 21-year-old now sits in second in BCHL playoff scoring with nine points in six games and leads the league in goals with seven.

Back home, Emerson played for the Los Angeles Jr. Kings.
