North Division Star of the Week: Brandon Adams, forward, Soo Eagles
Soo Eagles forward Brandon Adams, 20, made the most of his fresh start this past weekend. Having spent the Fall semester at NCAA Division I Holy Cross, the native of Prospect Heights, Illinois, decided it was best for him and his family to go back to junior hockey. In his return with the 1st place Eagles, Adams (5'11/200) helped Soo to a weekend sweep of the Port Huron Fighting Falcons with three goals. The three goals all came in Friday's 4-2 win, in which Adams recorded a hat-trick which included the game winning goal. Adams didn't score in Saturday's 4-3 win, but did record two shots. He was also +2 on the weekend in his first pair of games with the Soo. Adams spent six games playing for Corpus Christi during the 2011-12 season.
"Brandon and his family were looking for a better situation and we were looking for another goal scorer, so the timing was good," said Eagles head coach Bruno Bragagnolo. "Brandon has really good hockey sense, he is a good two-way player and has very impressive speed and strength."
2nd Star: Chris Waterstreet, forward, Soo Eagles
