EHL STARS OF THE WEEK #6

As we near the end of October and head into the All-Star Break, the EHL remained busy with 20 games taking place this past week.

The EHL is pleased to announce that Jaxon Penner (Seacoast Spartans), Evan Beers (Vermont Lumberjacks), and Anthony Del Tufo (Philadelphia Revolution) have been named the Warrior Hockey Stars of the Week.

Penner and Spartans remained hot this past week, as they extended their winning streak up to five with a home-and-home sweep of the East Coast Wizards, followed by a road victory over the Walpole Express.

The 2001-born native of Canada kicked off his week by scoring all three of his team's goals in a 3-2 victory on Thursday, and then followed that performance up with an assist in regulation and a goal in the shootout on Friday. Fast-forward to Sunday, and Penner rounded out his stellar week by finding the back of the net once and assisting on another tally, in his team's first win of the season over Walpole. The Spartans have officially wrapped up play in the month of October and will resume EHL action on November 1st as they take on the Boston Jr. Rangers.

Beers and the Lumberjacks ended the month of October with a road sweep of Connecticut Chiefs, and they are now tied with the New Hampshire Avalanche for 1st place in the NEW ENGLAND CONFERENCE.

The native of Peabody, MA began his campaign for Star of the Week honors on Saturday, where he was able to notch four points, including a goal and three assists in a 6-3 victory. Beers continued to help his team complete the sweep by tallying two more assists during Vermont’s 7-1 win on Sunday. Play for the Lumberjacks will resume the first weekend in November, with a two-game set at home against the Avalanche.

The Revolution split their games this past week, falling to the New Jersey 87s on Friday and then knocking off the Philadelphia Little Flyers on Monday.

Del Tufo was in net for the victory on Monday, as the '99 netminder was able to fend away 32 of the 33 shots he faced in the contest. After dropping the season opener to the Little Flyers, the Revolution have now won each of the previous two matchups against their rival.

Similar to Penner and the Spartans, Del Tufo and the Revolution will return to action on Friday, November 1st, with the hopes of earning some revenge against the 87s.

EHLP STARS OF THE WEEK #6

The second to last weekend of play in the month of October featured 10 total games across the EHLP. With a number of great matchups came a number of worthy candidates for this edition of our weekly honors.

The EHLP is pleased to announce that Nick Feliciano (New Hampshire Avalanche), David Wilf (Philadelphia Little Flyers) and Owen Swanbon (Walpole Express) have been named the Warrior Hockey Stars of the Week.

Feliciano and the Avalanche remained the hottest team in the EHLP, by extending their winning streak up to six games with victories over the Boston Jr. Rangers and Valley Jr. Warriors.

The 2000-born forward continues to make a name for himself with 21 points in just 11 games, including six of those points coming from this weekend alone. Feliciano started his weekend by scoring a pair of goals and notching one assist during Saturday’s contest against the Rangers, and then notched a hat-trick on Sunday against the Warriors. With his second hat-trick of the season, the native of Stoneham, MA now has 15 goals so far this season.

Wilf and the Little Flyers have successfully bounced back from their first loss of the season as the ended this past weekend with a 4-3 victory over the Philadelphia Revolution. With the two points, the Little Flyers continue to lead the way in the Mid-Atlantic Conference with 20 points in their first 11 games.

As for the 2002-born native of Wynnewood, PA, Wilf played a huge roll in the team’s victory. Wilf was able to score a pair of goals, including the game-winner against the cross town rivals. The Little Flyers will wrap up the month of October next weekend as they take on the New York Bridgemen, and then hit the ice for another matchup with the Revolution.

Wrapping things up between the pipes, Swanborn and the Express earned two huge points this past weekend, when they took down the 2nd place team in the New England Conference.

The 2002-born netminder was excellent between the pipes against the Railers Jr. Hockey Club, fending away 35 of the 37 shots he faced. With this top-notch performance, Swanborn now leads the EHLP in total number of saves with 228. The Express will look to use this victory as momentum, as they take on the Avalanche and Rangers this weekend.
