Elmira Jackals News Release
The ECHL announced Thursday that Jackals winger Tyler Donati has been named to the All-ECHL 1st Team and that Jackals center Justin Donati has been selected to the All-ECHL 2nd Team.
Tyler leads the ECHL with 72 assists and 110 points, both Jackals records. He is tied for fifth in the league with 38 goals.
The older of the twin brothers by seven minutes, Tyler was named the Reebok Hockey ECHL Player of the Month for February and had an ECHL season-high 17-game scoring streak from Jan. 22 to Mar. 6, during which he recorded 17 goals and 24 assists for 41 points.
Justin Donati leads all ECHL rookies with 39 goals, 59 assists, and 98 points and was named to the ECHL All-Rookie Team on Wednesday, becoming the first ever Jackal to receive an ECHL yearly honor. Justin was named the Reebok Hockey ECHL Rookie of the Month for October and December and was one of the Jackals' two All-Stars this season.
If Justin scores two more points this season, he and Tyler would become the first brothers to each score 100 points on the same team in the same season in professional hockey history.
