Coulee Region Chill News Release
Midwest Division Star of the Week: Adam Carlson, goalie, Coulee Region Chill
Since October 25 th, the Coulee Region Chill have lost just one of their last 19 games in regulation and this past weekend were faced with a tall task of facing the North Division-leading Janesville Jets in a home-and-home series and a road game in Austin on New Year's Eve. The Chill took 5 of a possible 6 points thanks in large part again to their goalie, Adam Carlson. The 20-year-old native of Edina, Minnesota was very good again in goal this past weekend as the 6'3/180 lbs. Mercyhurst recruit allowed just 2 goals in three games stopping a combined 96 of 98 shots that came his way. On New Year's Eve, Carlson made 34 saves in a 4-1 win in Austin. On Friday night, he made 33 saves and allowed just a single goal in regulation and overtime in a 2-1 shootout loss. He finished the weekend with a 29-save shutout on Saturday, his 4 th shutout of the season, in a 3-0 win over the Jets. Carlson leads the NAHL in saves and wins and is 3 rd in save percentage. "It was a big weekend against really good teams in Janesville and Austin. Coming off the news of getting an NCAA Division I commitment, Adam had zero let down. His focus now is getting better and winning a Robertson Cup, and he is playing like it," said Chill head coach AJ Degenhardt.
