Shanley, Kowalski, and Happy Named 3 Stars of the Week

BOSTON, MA -- While it may not feel like hockey weather outside, the Eastern Hockey League is already finished with the first month of the season. 54 games down, and 354 games to go in the EHL Division.

This week, the EHL is pleased to announce Jackson Shanley (Northern Cyclones), Brian Kowalski (Walpole Express), and Marc Happy (Connecticut Oilers) as the EHL Stars of the Week.

Also, this week's EHL Team of the Week is the Valley Jr. Warriors.

Jackson Shanley

Shanley and the Cyclones split their two games over the weekend, giving them a record of 5-2-0 in the first 7 games of the season.

  • Friday, September 30th ::: Warriors 5 - Cyclones 2 ::: (1g, 0a, 1p)
  • Sunday, October 2nd ::: Cyclones 6 - Monarchs 5 (SO) ::: (3g, 0a, 3p)

Shanley put together a solid four-goal weekend, that also included the GWG in the shootout on Sunday night. The native of Vail, Colorado will look to extend his goal streak this weekend when the Cyclones take on the Little Flyers, Jr. Flyers, and Revolution at the Columbus Day Showcase.

Brian Kowalski

Kowalski and the Express won both of their games this weekend, improving their record to 3-2-0 on the season.

  • Saturday, October 1st ::: Express 6 - Wizards 5 (OT) ::: (24 saves)
  • Sunday, October 2nd ::: Express 2 - Rangers 1 (OT) ::: (56 saves)

The native of Williamsville, New York entered the game halfway through the contest on Saturday night, and played from start to finish on Sunday. In four games so far this season, Kowalski already has three wins, while stopping 154 of 162 shots against. The netminder will look to keep things rolling this weekend when the Express take on the Wolfpack, Little Flyers, and Applecore at the Columbus Day Showcase.

Marc Happy

Happy and the Oilers won their only game of the weekend, snapping a four-game losing streak.

  • Saturday, October 1st ::: Oilers 3 - Wolfpack 2 (OT) ::: (1g, 2a, 3p)

The 6'4" defenseman from Sterling, Massachusetts has four points in six games so far this season. Happy is in his 3rd year with the Oilers, and last year's EHL Defenseman of the Year will look to keep things going in four games this week. The Oilers face-off with the Nighthawks on Tuesday, and then they get the Rangers, Warriors, and Wizards at the Columbus Day Showcase this weekend.

EHL TEAM OF THE WEEK

This week's EHL Team of the Week is the Valley Jr. Warriors.

  • Friday, September 30th ::: Warriors 5 - Cyclones 2
  • Saturday, October 2nd ::: Warriors 2 - Rangers 1

The Warriors were able to grab some revenge on Friday afternoon, beating the Cyclones after they knocked Valley out of the playoffs this past March.

Sean Lincoln picked up the win between the pipes on Friday night, while Nick Scarpa got the victory on Sunday. Severin Nilsson led the way offensively, scoring a goal and dishing out three assists in the two games. The Warriors will look to extend their three-game winning streak against the Oilers and Wolfpack at the Columbus Day Showcase this weekend.

HONORABLE MENTION

This past weekend was filled with a large number of notable goaltending performances throughout the EHL.

  • Samuel Kany (Philadelphia Little Flyers) improved to 2-1-0 on the season after beating the Connecticut Nighthawks on Saturday. Kany lowered his GAA to 1.52 in the victory.
  • Kany's teammate Joseph Giacobbo picked up his 2nd shutout win in as many starts on Sunday against the Nighthawks. Combined, the Little Flyers goalies are 4-0-1 on the season with only five goals against so far.
  • Ryan Spencer (New Jersey Rockets) made 52 saves to preserve a 3-2 victory over the Philadelphia Jr. Flyers on Saturday.
  • Doug Connor (New York Applecore) stopped 36 shots to lead his team to their first win of the season against the Philadelphia Revolution on Saturday.
  • Nolan Egbert (Boston Jr. Rangers) stood on his head all weekend long, stopping 100 of 103 shots he faced. Unfortunately for the native of Massapequa, New York, the Rangers lost both of their games by the score of 2-1.
  • Last week's SOTW Cody Murch recorded his 2nd shutout of the season on Sunday, as the Jr. Flyers split their weekend series with the Rockets.
