Over 30 Hockey League

The Dunkin Donuts Player of the Week award winner is Mike Duggan of Barney & Friends.

Mike, not scoring as often as he has in previous seasons, had a big impact on the outcome of this game, as he scores 2-goals, including the game winner late in the game that gave his team some breathing room, breaking a four-game scoreless drought, and shows why he is the league's premier goal scorer with his quick release.

The winner of the Dick’s Sporting Goods weekly award is Ray Dow of Dominions.

With the league’s strongest defensive foursome, Ray sometimes gets overlooked by the flashier play of the other defensemen on his team.  But his calm playing style, while still battling lingering injuries, is starting to pay dividends, as he set up three of his team’s goals to break this game wide open. 

The winner of the weekly AARP award is Tom Gallagher of M*A*S*H.

Tom’s overall play as the leader of his team’s offense, team motivator and game strategist has been on full display this season.  With his team playing short-handed missing five players on offense, Tom calmly led the way, scoring the game’s first goal then setting up the second goal thirty seconds later.

The winner of the Nelson Sousa memorial Goalie of the Week award is Sean Roach of Dominions.

Sean posted his third shutout this season, stopping all 21 shots faced in winning his league leading seventh game this season.  It may have only been 21 shots, but Sean made some key saves while this was still a close game for his team.

The winner of the weekly AARP award is Rick Cassano of Dominions.

Ricky broke out his playmaking offense in a big way as he factored in on four of the six goals his team scored.  Ricky’s game is starting to come around after a slow start and being a threat on the second line giving his team a big boost on balancing out their offense.  There is no truth to the rumor that Ricky was extra motivated from the way his championship jacket was presented to him.

The winner of the Nelson Sousa memorial Goalie of the Week award is Scott Rosato of Barney & Friends

Scott had a HUGE bounce-back game from a disastrous previous game’s loss, as he stopped 25 out of 27 shots faced, and made the save of the year with less than thirty seconds to play in the game, sliding right to left and making the save while down and out to preserve the win for his team!  Someone call a cop because Scott just robbed the opposing player of a sure goal.

Scott personally had a lot to prove to himself and his team that his previous game was just a very bad day at the office!

The winner of the Mylec Defenseman of the Week award is John Hines of Dominions.

John returned to action after missing a couple of games in a big way as he broke out his offense which has been surprisingly dormant this season, by scoring 2-goals while adding an assist.  In addition to his production on offense, John was able to lead the way with his defensive partners in emphatically shutting down the team ahead of them in the standings.

The winner of the Mylec Defenseman of the Week award is John Carey of Hammertime.

The winner of the Dick’s Sporting Goods weekly award is Mark Stickney of M*A*S*H.

The old man played his best game of the season, making an impact on his team’s offense with his playmaking skills by setting up two goals, including a big momentum shifting assist with seconds to play in the second period that took the wind out of the opponent’s comeback hopes.

Halfway through his fading hopes of beating his Pink Shirt Challenge with only one assist so far, this may just be the wake up call he needed to make a historic run to beat this challenge.

The winner of the weekly AARP award is Garvin Chan of Phoenix Rising.

Garvin had an impact game on offense, factoring in on five of his teams seven goals scored with     2-goals and 3-assists, leading the way for his team to break open a close game during the second period.  If Garvin starts to heat up on offense, it will make his team more balanced and difficult to defend.

The winner of the Nelson Sousa memorial Goalie of the Week award is Mike Viera filling in.

Mike continues to show why he is the number one fill-in goalie as he can show up to play for a team where he is not their regular goalie and not familiar with their defensive style, but always adapts and gives that team a chance to win.

Such was the case this week, as Mike stopped 29 of 31 shots faced, including multiple quality scoring chances during the second and third periods of his game, playing a big role in the team winning their game.

The winner of the Mylec Defenseman of the Week award is Chris Torres of Dominions.

Chris continues to impact the offense from defense for his team and is starting to run away with the defensemen leading scoring race, setting up three goals (putting up seven points in his last two games).

Another defenseman competitor made a big mistake in calling out Chris’ chances for a repeat in the MVD race a few weeks ago, as he continues to provide the voters with notable production.

The Dunkin Donuts Player of the Week award winner is George Medeiros of Azores Express.

The Energizer Bunny of the league who never stops hustling, George plays a great game overall, scoring 1-goal while adding 2-assists.  He takes advantage of two gassed forwards playing defense with a brilliant individual move in OT to go around the sliding defensive player and beats the goalie with ten seconds left to play.

The winner of the Nelson Sousa memorial Goalie of the Week award is Scott Rosato of Barney & Friends.

In a back-and-forth game with each team generating 30 shots on net, Scott makes some key saves in the second period to keep the game tied, until his team gets their offense going to break the game open in the third period.  Scott was locked in during the third period to preserve the win.

The winner of the Mylec Defenseman of the Week award is Colleen O’ Connell of Barney & Friends.

Colleen scores her first goal in both seasons played this year (and first since the Spring 2023 season), and it is a big one (game winner) that changes the momentum early in the third period, on a shot from the left point.  Hats off to Colleen for showing Jim Barber and Naz how it’s easy to score a goal in the Over-30 league that even a girl can do it, before either one of them can score this season!

The Dunkin Donuts Player of the Week award winner is Dave Norton of M*A*S*H.

Dave returns from a two-game absence, buys in to the team concept, and has a breakout game, scoring a hat trick and sets up two goals, as he is the best scorer in his game.  If he can keep his legs going and starts finding his scoring touch, it will make his team ever harder to defend.

The winner of the Mylec Defenseman of the Week award is Steve Iacoviello of Phoenix Rising.

With two of his fellow defensive teammates out on IR, Ike stepped into the role of top defenseman, playing a lot of minutes, and shut down one of the top teams (and fastest teams) in the league.  In addition, Ike made life easy for the fill-in goalie stepping in for his regular goalie.
