Press Release
THUNDER BAY, Ont. – The Superior International Junior Hockey
League announced Monday that Minnesota Wilderness captain Mike Dietrich
has been named the Pizza Hut player of the week for the period
concluding Nov. 18.
This marks the second time this season Dietrich has garnered the accolades after also earning the laurels back in week 5.
His latest award-winning effort saw the 20-year-old native of South
Hampton, N.J. register seven points in just two games helping the
SIJHL-leading Wilderness skate to a pair of one-sided triumphs.
He began by scoring once and dishing out for assists, including
setting up the game-winner, in a 9-0 road drubbing of the Thunder Bay
North Stars on Wednesday.
Dietrich followed that up Saturday by notching another marker and
picking up a helper in a 7-1 home ice victory over the Fort Frances
Lakers.
On the season the Wilderness forward, who was also the league’s
Sportop performer of the month for October, leads the SIJHL in scoring
with 39 points overall on 15 tallies and 24 helpers.
Honourable mention for the Pizza Hut player of the week award went to
Nolan Holcombe, (F) Minnesota Iron Rangers; Jon Carlson, (D) Fort
Frances Lakers; Len Pelletier, (D) Dryden Ice Dogs; Matt Kaarela, (F)
Thunder Bay North Stars and Ian Reffert, (F) Duluth Clydesdales.
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.
