ROANOKE, Va. - The Southern Professional Hockey League announced on Tuesday that Rail Yard Dawgs goaltender Austyn Roudebush has been named SPHL Player of the Week. It is the second such honor for Roudebush this season.

Roudebush played in two of Roanoke's three games against the Peoria Rivermen over the weekend and went 1-0-1 with a 1.44 goals against average and .950 save percentage. He faced 60 shots and made 57 saves in his two starts.

The Toledo, Ohio native has now appeared in nine games since joining the Rail Yard Dawgs in January and is 3-1-2 with a 2.17 GAA and .928 save percentage.
