Yukoner Ammon Hoefs isn't overly concerned with what happens during the remaining two weeks of the Canadian Interuniversity Sport soccer season.

The 24-year-old University of Alberta Golden Bear has had an all-star calibre season, which has featured many highlights, including playing university ball, for the first time, with his younger brother Boris, 21, as well as nearly tripling his goal total from the previous year.

Hoefs outstanding season got even better earlier in October when he was named Canada West Athlete of the Week for his contributions in two crucial wins over the Saskatchewan Huskies. As far as Hoefs is concerned, any remaining highlights in his final season of post secondary soccer will just be an added bonus.

"I was pumped for sure," Hoefs said about being named as the male Canada West Athlete of the Week. "It was a huge honour to be recognized as a pretty influential and I guess impactful athlete and player, so I was very happy."

In the home and home series against Saskatchewan, Hoefs had a break out two games, scoring four of his team's eight goals as well as adding two assists.

In the first contest against Saskatchewan, Hoefs was named player of the game after an impressive three point performance in the team's 3-1 win.

The fifth-year CIS forward notched the first goal, assisted in the second and then scored the third to secure the victory for the Golden Bears.

The team was even more dominate in their second game, which was held in Edmonton. The team poured it on, winning 5-0. Once again, Hoefs was a big reason the team recorded its second straight victory, scoring twice and adding one assist.

Hoefs efforts earned him the University of Alberta Athlete of the Week honour and just a couple of days later found out that he had been also named as Canada West Athlete of the Week.

Thanks to his six point performance against Saskatchewan, Hoefs increased his seasonal total to five goals and three assists.

"Things just kind of clicked,"

Hoefs said about the two games against Saskatchewan. "We are kind of in the crucial point of the league, where it is kind of do or die now. We need to start putting teams away and start playing properly, not only for our own sake, just to show that we can, but also because if don't we are going to lose the playoff spot."

With the wins over Saskatchewan, the Golden Bears men's soccer team ended a two game losing streak and maintained its occupation of the last Canada West playoff position. The top four university teams in the league make the playoffs. The Golden Bears currently have a slim one point advantage over fifth place Fraser Valley.

This is Hoefs' second year playing for the University of Alberta, but because of three previous soccer seasons with Grant MacEwan College, which is also located in Edmonton, it is his final year of eligibility under CIS rules.

The Golden Bears men's soccer season got off on to a great start in September.

The team won its opener against the University of Victoria and followed that up with two ties.

The team maintained its unbeaten streak until its recent two game slide, but now look to be back on track, heading into the home stretch of the regular season.

The Golden Bears had a bye Thanksgiving weekend, but will look to continue their recent success in this weekend's contests against Trinity Western and Fraser Valley. Heading into the weekend, The Golden Bears have a record of 4-2-4.

Last season, the team qualified for the playoffs, but lost in the semi finals. The team rebounded to win the bronze medal game, which placed them third overall in the league standings.

The top two teams in the Canada West league qualify for nationals.

The last time Hoefs competed at nationals was two years ago when he was playing for the Grant MacEwan College soccer team along with Boris.

The team finished third at the nationals, but Hoefs finished the season with the Grant MacEwan Athlete of the Year award.

Hoefs said it has always been a goal of his to win a national championship as well as play with his brother on a university squad.

"My brother and I have always wanted to play the highest level of competition soccer that we could on the same team," he said. "This year that finally happened.

It's awesome. Right away, just that alone, being able to play with my brother at the university level on one of the best teams in Canada, I am happy with that. If we get a national championship or even a Canada West medal out of it that's icing on the cake kind of thing, but as of right now I am just enjoying my last year playing CIS sports."

The team has four games remaining on the season, which concludes at the end of October with two contest against Calgary and Lethbridge.

Hoefs said he is looking forward to the remainder of the CIS soccer season.

"At this point I am just having fun and whatever comes, comes," he said. "I don't really care at this point. I have had lots of good memories, so everything else is just extra."
