North Division Star of the Week: Robin Hoglund, forward, Soo Eagles
The Soo Eagles continue to stay on the heels of Jamestown for 1st place in the North Division. This weekend, the Eagles split a home series with the Michigan Warriors and forward Robin Hoglund, 19, did most of the damage offensively for the Eagles. The native of Molndal, Sweden, recorded four points (2 goals, 2 assists) and was +4 in the pair of weekend games. On Friday, Hoglund (6'1/180) assisted on both of the Eagles goals in a 4-2 loss. On Saturday, he scored the first and the third goals in a 3-1 win over Michigan. Hoglund played the first two games of the season with Fairbanks and then was traded to Soo. Overall, he has 10 points in 16 games played this season. "Robin has been an impact player right off the bat and this weekend really proved that," said Eagles head coach Bruno Bragagnolo. "He does a very good job at being physical, using his size and playing the body. He has an excellent shot and knows how to score goals."
2nd Star: Dylan Rosen, defenseman, Springfield Jr. Blues
Honorable Mention (alphabetical): Taylor Burden, forward, Kalamazoo Jr. K-Wings - Matt Leon, goaltender, Springfield Jr. Blues - Kody Polin, forward, Port Huron Fighting Falcons - Easton Powers, forward, Port Huron Fighting Falcons.
