Over 30 Hockey League

The Dunkin Donuts Player of the Week award winner is Mike Duggan of Marooned.

Once again showing why he deserved both the leading scorer title as well as the Season MVP this season, Mike proved the analysts wrong saying he wouldn’t score 30-goals this season, as he did them one better and scored 31-goals, scoring 6-goals in his game.

We believe that Mike set an Over-30 league record of most goals scored in a game with 6, while finally joining that exclusive 30-goals club with Joe Shannon (twice), Doug Sedille and Mike Luise.  Well done Mike.
