GLENDALE, AZ (November 28, 2011) -The Central Hockey League announced today that Fort Wayne's Jean-Michel Rizk has been named the Oakley Central Hockey League Player of the Week for the period ending November 27, 2011.

The Dunham, Ontario native has had an outstanding rookie season so far averaging a point-per-game with eight goals and three assists in 11 games played. Rizk finds himself fifth on his team in the scoring department, tying the team lead with two game-winning goals, both gathered during Fort Wayne's last two games.
During this past week, Rizk recorded five points in his team's perfect week which included three-games-in-three-days. On Thanksgiving Night, Rizk helped his team beat the Bloomington Blaze 3-1, and although he did not record a point, he was atop the game leaders with six shots. He continued his solid play during Friday's 6-5 win against the Mallards where he scored the game's first goal giving his team the early lead and then later scored the eventual game winning goal early in the third period. In Saturday night's game versus Dayton, Rizk again scored the game winning goal and also added an assist.
The Komets have won four straight games and with their 9-5-0 record sit just one point out of first place in the Turner Conference.
