The highlight of his week was on Sunday making a season-high 45 saves for his third shutout of the season as first star of a 5-0 win against the Brandon Wheat Kings.

Hill, a 19-year-old from Calgary, AB, is playing in his second full WHL season with the Winterhawks. Selected by the Coyotes in the third round of the 2015 NHL Draft, Hill currently carries a 5-4-0-0 record with a goals-against-average of 2.13 and save percentage of .937.
