Laredo's Sylvain Deschatelets and Missouri's Charlie Effinger Win Weekly Awards
Published on March 1, 2010 under Central Hockey League (CHL) News Release
(Tempe, Arizona) - The Central Hockey League announced today that the recipients for the Oakley Central Hockey League Player and Goaltender of the Week for the period ending February 28, 2010 are forward Sylvain Deschatelets of the Laredo Bucks and goaltender Charlie Effinger of the Missouri Mavericks.
Deschatelets was signed by the Bucks last week and made an immediate impact in his three games scoring points in each of them. The veteran introduced himself to his new teammates with three assists in a loss to Allen on Thursday and followed that up with game winning goals in each of the Bucks next two games. In Saturday's 5-1 victory over Texas, the Bellville, Quebec native scored a pair of goals with an assist. For the week, Deschatelets scored three goals with four assists and was a +6 in the three contests. The veteran of close to 500 professional games was signed by the Bucks for an offensive lift for the remainder of the regular season and potentially into the playoffs.
Effinger won four games in a very busy week for the red-hot Mavericks. The rookie goaltender was acquired in a trade by Missouri at the CHL's trade deadline and has been nothing short of spectacular ever since for the expansion Mavericks. His accolades from this past week include an overtime win versus Wichita, a shootout win versus Mississippi and a relief win over Tulsa where he entered the game with his team trailing and proceeded to stop all 20 shots he faced giving the Mavs time to re-take the lead and eventually win. The Belleville, Illinois native's top save total for the week came on Sunday with 32 stops in a 4-2 win at Texas. Effinger is 7-1-0 with Missouri and 15-4-1 overall.
In recognition of their achievements both Deschatelets and Effinger will receive a special gift from Oakley.
