King Philip senior Nate Garstka has been selected as the HockomockSports.com Player of the Week, presented by Morse Insurance, for Jan. 8 through Jan. 14. Garstka is the 17th player chosen as Player of the Week for the 2023-24 school year and fourth in the winter season.
Garstka more than doubled his goal total for the season with four goals over two games, as KP won a pair of league games, including a stunning 4-0 victory over previously undefeated Canton on Saturday night at the Foxboro Sports Center. The wins keep KP in a first-place tie with Franklin atop the Kelley-Rex division.
Coming off a tough loss to Taunton, the Warriors bounced back this week starting with a 5-1 win over North Attleboro on Wednesday. Garstka added the final goal of the game. On Saturday, defending D2 champ Canton paid a visit, but it was the Warriors who controlled the game from the start. Garstka scored once in each period. He opened the scoring with a deft touch in front of goal, redirecting a shot from the point into the bottom corner. With Canton ramping up the pressure in the second, Garstka collected a loose puck in the slot, spun, and fired a shot over the goalie’s shoulder. As KP was managing the final period, keeping the Bulldogs at arm’s length, Garstka got a head of steam entering the zone, cut across the front of goal, and sniped the top corner to complete his hat trick and effectively seal the win.
