Published on April 5, 2010 under ECHL (ECHL) News Release


PRINCETON, N.J. - The ECHL on Monday announced that Tyler Donati of the Elmira Jackals has won the league scoring championship with 114 points (38g-76a).

Elmira's Justin Donati was second with 104 points (42g-62a) followed by Ryan Kinasewich of Utah with 103 points (48g-55a), Idaho's Mark Derlago with 92 points (42g-50a) and Adam Miller of Las Vegas with 86 points (33g-53a).

The three 100-point scorers are the most in the ECHL in a season since 1997-98 when seven players reached the century mark.

The Donati's are the first set of brothers in professional hockey history to record 100-or-more points in a single season as teammates.

Donati, who is the 63rd player in ECHL history to reach 100 points in a season, led the league with 76 assists, 35 power-play assists and 44 power-play points, while finishing sixth with 38 goals and fifth with 257 shots. Named First-Team All-ECHL on Thursday, Donati's 114 points are the most in the ECHL since Wheeling's Darren Schwartz also recorded 114 in 1992-93.
