Press Release
THUNDER BAY, Ont. – The Superior International Junior Hockey
League announced Monday that Luke Karakas of the Minnesota Iron Rangers
has been named the Pizza Hut player of the week for the period ending
Nov. 25.
In two games this past week the 19-year-old forward, who hails from
Green Bay, Wis., registered five points helping the Iron Rangers skate
to a pair of home ice victories over the Dryden Ice Dogs.
Karakas began by scoring once and dishing out two assists, including
setting up the game-winner, in a 5-2 triumph over the Ice Dogs last
Monday.
He then tacked on another tally and added a helper in a 7-3 victory against Dryden this past Tuesday.
Karakas is presently riding a modest four-game point streak
registering four goals and five assists in that span helping raise his
season point total to 20, which ties him for 15th overall in SIJHL
offensive production.
Honourable mention for the Pizza Hut player of the week award went to
Merritt Rysavy, (F) Fort Frances Lakers; Kris Kellaway, (F) Thunder Bay
North Stars; Tyson Holder, (F) Dryden Ice Dogs and Jon Ringstad, (D)
Duluth Clydesdales.
Of note, the Minnesota Wilderness did not play this past week and thus did not have a nominee.
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.
