Berry Named North Division Star of the Week
September 25, 2014 - North American Hockey League (NAHL)
Soo Eagles News Release
The Soo Eagles may have found themselves a keeper in 18-year-old goalie Jack Berry.
The rookie and native of Holly, Michigan played very well at the NAHL Showcase, helping the Eagles to a 3-1 record and 1st place in the North Division. Berry started in two games and made an appearance in a third. Berry (6'2/185) won his first NAHL start as he stopped 19 of 20 shots that came his way in a 3-1 win over Minot. After posting a perfect period against Brookings in a relief role, Berry then made 20 saves in a 5-0 shutout win over the Rio Grande Valley Killer Bees. He has allowed just one goal on 43 shots to date.
"Jack has looked good in practice and we were eager to see what he could do. I thought he got stronger as the games went along. He players under control and mature for a younger goalie," said Soo head coach Bruno Bragagnolo.
Forward Sandis Zolmanis, of the Soo Eagles, was named North Division's second star.
