Press Release
Toronto, ON – The Canadian Hockey League today announced that 2013
NHL Entry Draft prospect Jonathan Drouin of the Halifax Mooseheads is
the first CHL Player of the Week for the 2012-13 season after scoring
two goals and five assists for seven points in two games with a
plus-minus rating of plus-6 for the week ending September 23.
Drouin helped the Mooseheads open the new campaign with two road wins
including a 4-3 overtime victory over the Cape Breton Screaming Eagles
on Friday night where he recorded a goal and an assist as second star of
the contest. Drouin claimed second star honours again on Sunday with a
five-point game scoring once and adding four assists as part of an 8-1
win over the P.E.I Rocket.
Drouin, a 17-year-old from Ste-Agathe, QC, is playing in his second
QMJHL season with the Mooseheads after scoring seven goals and 22
assists for 29 points in just 33 games as a rookie last season. Last
week Drouin was recognized as a first round candidate for the 2013 NHL
Entry Draft by NHL Central Scouting in their September edition of
Players to Watch.
Also considered for the award this week was Nicolas Petan of the
Portland Winterhawks who scored four goals and four assists for eight
points in three games, and Seth Griffith of the London Knights who
scored five goals and one assist for six points in two games.
