AMARILLO, TX - The Amarillo Bulls head into their off week with a seven point lead over the Topeka Pilots for first place in the North American Hockey League's South Division.

Five out of a possible six points were collected in two wins and a shootout loss in Corpus Christi versus the IceRays. The Bulls wrapped up the series on Sunday as Jason Grande posted the shutout in a 4-0 win at American Bank Center.

Jordan Venegoni, Logan Jenuwine, Brenden Datema and Jason Brancheau tallied for the Bulls in the contest.

Grande was outstanding over the weekend and his hard work was recognized by the NAHL as he was chosen South Division Player of The Week.

Grande, 19, was in goal for both of the Bulls wins over the weekend, giving up just a single goal in two games. The 6'4/180 lbs. native of West Chester, Pennsylvania, faced 57 of 58 shots in the two wins, which included a 25-save shutout in a 4-0 win on Sunday and 32 saves in a 3-1 win on Friday.

For the season, Grande boasts a 8-3-1 record and is 5th in the NAHL with a 2.02 goals against average.

"Jason has been our most consistent player for the past two months. He is very calm in the net, controls his rebounds and creates a confidence for our team that has allowed us to be successful. He is generating a significant amount of interest at the NCAA Division I level and will be a tremendous addition to whichever program he elects to go to," said Bulls head coach Rocky Russo.
