Press Release
THUNDER BAY, Ont. – The Superior International Junior Hockey
League announced Monday that Dryden Ice Dogs forward Tyler Walsh has
been named the opening Pizza Hut player of the week for the 2012-13
season.
In three games this past week the 20-year-old native of Mississauga,
Ont., registered seven points in helping the Ice Dogs record a trio of
victories over the weekend.
He opened up with a pair of assists in a 6-3 win over Duluth Friday
and followed that up by scoring his first SIJHL goal and setting up the
game-winner in a 4-3 victory over the Clydesdales Saturday.
Walsh concluded his award-winning effort by tacking on two more
tallies in a 5-2 triumph over the defending league champion Minnesota
Wilderness Sunday.
In recognition of his on-ice efforts Walsh will be presented a gift card courtesy of Pizza Hut.
Honourable mention for the Pizza Hut player of the week award went to
Mike Dietrich, (F) Minnesota Wilderness; Matt Kaarela, (F) Thunder Bay
North Stars; Joey Haydock, (F) Minnesota Iron Rangers; Darrick Howard,
(F) Duluth Clydesdales and Brenner Blankenship, (D) Sioux Lookout
Flyers.
Of note, the Fort Frances Lakers did not have a nominee as they have yet to play their first game.
At the conclusion of the 2012-13 regular season, the SIJHL’s top
performer will be presented the league’s Pizza Hut player of the year
award.
