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

Surprisingly this was Mike’s first Player of the Week award this season and it was well deserved.  Mike broke out on offense, scoring 2-goals and adding 3-assists, as he factored in on every goal his team scored.

It has been an off season for Mike in goal scoring, but his point production enabled him to make a significant jump up the leading scorers race into a tie for second place.

The winner of the Dick’s Sporting Goods weekly award is John Kelleher of Phoenix Rising.

As captain of a team, you do what is necessary to help your team.  With his team shorthanded, missing five players (three of which were defensemen), John went back on defense and played every minute of this game and never came off the rink.  He held his own against younger opposing players running hard with their forechecking pressure game.

The winner of the weekly AARP award is Ray Nickerson of Barney & Friends.

After missing the previous six weeks on IR with a lower body injury, Ray came back and made his presence felt with a highlight reel goal that changed the momentum of his game late in the second period.

From the left-wing boards inside the circle Ray shot a perfectly placed top corner far side sniper shot, opening up a close one-goal game, after setting up a goal less than two minutes earlier.

The winner of the Nelson Sousa memorial Goalie of the Week award is A J Larabee of Phoenix Rising.

With his team missing half its team, including three of its defensemen, and only generating limited shot production on offense, A J did his part to keep this game close.  This easily could have been a blowout considering only having one sub on the bench if it weren’t for A J”s solid play in net.

The winner of the Mylec Defenseman of the Week award is Ray Dow of Dominions.

For the first time this season rather than blending in to his team’s defense, Ray stepped up and stood out both on defense and offense.  Ray scored 2-goals that were the difference in his team’s win.  Both goals scored were booming slapshots from the point.

Ray’s second goal was timely and a key momentum swing in his game, as it came thirty seconds after the opposition tied this low scoring game, early in the second period.
