North Division Star of the Week: Colin Brennan, goaltender, Soo Eagles
Soo Eagles goaltender Colin Brennan, 20, had some extra incentive to play well this weekend. The native of Chester, New Jersey was in his old stomping grounds of Johnstown, playing his former Tomahawks team. Soo ended up winning two of the three weekend games, and both of those were the ones that Brennan (6'1/185) started in. On Thursday, Brennan made 19 saves in a 3-0 shutout of his former team. On Saturday, Brennan got the start again and responded with 26 saves in a 4-3 win. For the weekend, Brennan stopped 45 of 48 shots for a 93.8% save percentage and a 1.50 goals against average. The shutout was Brennan's second of his NAHL career. "I think Colin was really was looking forward to playing in Johnstown because he was calm and showed a lot composure," said Eagles head coach Bruno Bragagnolo. "He made some key saves at key times. It is a battle for starting time right now between him and Paige (Skoog), so it is good to see the guys push one another to be better each time they play."
