Amarillo Bulls News Release
AMARILLO, TX - The Amarillo Bulls collected three out of a possible four points over the weekend and one of the reasons why was the play of forward Alex Peterson.
The Lansdale PA native was chosen by the North American Hockey League today (Monday) as the South Division Player Of The Week. Peterson had three points and was plus four.
On Friday, Peterson had a goal in a 5-1 win. On Saturday, he assisted on both Amarillo goals in a 3-2 overtime loss. For the season, Peterson is tied for 2nd in team scoring with 44 points.
"Alex has been one our most consistent players all season. He does so much more than produce points for us. He is a top penalty kill forward for us, an alternate captain, and one of the veteran players that has instilled the culture that was necessary for us turn our program around. He will be an outstanding addition to the College of the Holy Cross both in the classroom and on the ice," said Bulls head coach Rocky Russo.
