Good Afternoon SSBHL! 

Was great to get back out on the rink after the rain out last week! 

lets dive right into the top performing players of the week! 

Offensive madness!

1st) Matt Swan, once again at the top of the food chain this week! with a disgusting 5 Goals and 3 assists to net him a vile 8 point game...Insane amount of points Swan! GG's!

2nd) Nick Provenzano Absouluty crushed it as well! gaining 3 goals and 4 assists, combaining to get him 7 points total... Again just a nasty performance from a top player. Well done! 

3rd) Colman Lydon was the Massive difference in a high octane, Very offensive orianted game! Colman got not 1, But 2 hat tricks in a single game! getting 6 goals and was the main reason the Beavers won. Just, wow... great game Colman! 

INGENIOUS DEFENSE!

1st) Honestly, Not alot of Defense this week, with the exception of game 2. in 1st Sean Pyne was a key player in maintaining the Stone Hands Undeafted streak alive! Keeping the front of the net clear of opposition, cleaning up rebounds, Breaking up plays, and keeping the ball in the offensive zone was some of the many ways he contributed. Great work again Sean!

2nd) Eric Kinger was no slouch on the defensive end and did everything he could to keep his team alive! Multiple blocked shots and plays broken up was his main contributing factor. He also got an assist. Good work Kinger!

3rd) Again in the D awards, Patrick Schultz was a big reason his team won, for one thing, he got the game winning goal to secure his teams victory and got an assist. 2 Big points! and was, like always a harasser and menace on the d end. Amazing man, Truly!

Stingy Goalies!

1st) Nick Bonofiglio was our top goalie of the week! facing 29 shots and stopping 27 of them. Only 2 GAA and kept a tasty .931%  Nick has been a wall in net, making life infuriating for his opposition. Nothing comes easy with this guy in net and he's been the picture of Consistency all season long!\

2nd) Mark Fortie, Flexed in for the Spiders and played an incredible game for his 1st time in the league! Playing for a team he isn't familier with, in a league thats new to him, Faced 37 shots on net and stopped 34 of em. having a 3GAA and a great .918%. Amazing work Mark and great effort to give the team a fighting, great chance! Thank you again for flexing in!

3rd) Coming in 3rd this week, He stepped in when his team's goalie was absent, an enexpected hero emerged and came out victorious and kept his teams winning ways alive. Arthur Reynolds, came out of the smoke and fire and did his best to keep the door shut! This was Arty's 1st game played this season as a goalie and did his job well. Great work buddy and congrats on the win!

A reminder, I want all players to start thinking about the award votes this season! Last season I was pretty dissapointed by the lack of votes we received. This is a time to recognize who was a top perfomer and award that! The catagories will be the same as last season, however I did re-name one

we have...

MVP (most Valuable player)

MVDP (Most Valuable Defensive Player)

MVG (Most Valuable Goalie)

6th Player Award (Who came off the bench and exceeded expectaions or who was the most improved player)

The Joe Godfrey Award (This is replacing the Selke Award) (Offensive or defensive player who demonstrated great play at both ends of the rink and hustles always)

Best Sportsmanship Award (Just who was always a good sport no matter the circumstances, who always asked if someone who went down was ok, who congradulated opposing players on solid play, who played the cleanest game, etc)

Thank you all! Have a great rest of the week :)
