The St. Adolphe, Manitoba native was a member of the CHL Championship Bossier-Shreveport Mudbugs last season and signed with the Rush during the off-season. His outstanding all-around play was recognized recently when he was voted the 'Best Defensive Forward' in the CHL's annual 'Best of the Best' poll.

Limpright is one of five finalists for the CHL's Most Valuable Player award.
Weselowksi has been the heart and soul of the Rush's defense for three seasons and this year has established career-highs in points (39), goals (9) and assists (30).

The 2012 CHL All-Star is also one of five finalists for the CHL's Most Outstanding Defenseman award. Earlier this season, Weselowski was selected as a reserve for the 2012 CHL All-Star Game in Prescott Valley, Arizona.
