Eagles' Marco Emond Wins Performance Of The Week
Published on December 18, 2007 under Central Hockey League (CHL) News Release
The Central Hockey League (CHL) announced today that Colorado Eagles goaltender Marco Emond is the recipient of week eight's Performance of the Week thanks to receiving close to 3,000 votes from the fans. Emond was outstanding in the Eagles 5-2 victory over the Bossier-Shreveport Mudbugs on December 8th when he made 48 saves including stopping all 24 shots he faced in the third period.
The Valleyfield, Quebec native received 54% of the votes (2804) and won rather easily over the second place finisher (Mississippi's Aaron Davis netting a hat trick in the 5-1 victory over Youngstown on Dec. 8) who received 1101 votes. There were a record 5,176 votes cast during the week eight poll. Emond will be automatically considered for the 2007-08 CHL Performance of the Year which will be announced in April, 2008. His teammate Aaron Schneekloth won the award two weeks ago with the first ever hat trick from an Eagles defesneman.
Emond is 6-2-0 on the season with a 3.51 goals against average and a .908 save percentage. He has won three straight decisions and four of his last five.
