Congrats to Daniel Humbke from Lacombe who was named as one of the RDP Athletes of the week. Daniel who is in his first year studying A Bachelor of Kinesiology is on the Kings Curling team. Daniel played an integral role in helping the Red Deer Polytechnic Kings earn gold. The RDP Kings (2-2) placed second in the standings after four draws, earning a berth in the finals.

The team elevated its play in the gold medal game. Even though the Kings previously dropped a 4-3 decision to the University of Alberta Augustana Vikings, they reversed the fortunes and earned an impressive 6-2 victory for the championship title on Sunday. Humbke’s contributions were extremely valuable.

The Bachelor of Kinesiology student displayed a positive attitude, regardless of the circumstances over the weekend. His personality helped strengthen the Kings’ cohesiveness, which became even more important as the stakes rose on the final day. He worked incredibly hard and left it all out there on the ice.
