Alaska Aces News Release
Alaska Aces defenseman, Mark Isherwood has been named to the 2010-2011 ECHL All-Rookie Team, the Aces and ECHL announced on Wednesday morning. The All-Rookie team was determined in a vote of ECHL coaches, who were asked to select a goaltender, two defensemen and three forwards. Isherwood leads all rookie defensemen in goals and points. The Western Conference Champion Aces close the 2010-2011 regular season campaign with three games in Victoria this week, beginning Wednesday night. They will return home in mid-April for Games 1 & 2 of the Western Conference Semifinals.

Isherwood, 22, has 34 points (14g, 20a) in 67 games this season. A native of Abbotsford, British Columbia, Isherwood has developed into a scoring threat as the year has progressed. The former WHL blue liner has come on strong with 13 goals and 32 points in his last 50 games. Isherwood has been lethal on the power play, totaling 11 goals and 24 points on the man advantage. Those totals lead both defensemen and rookies in their respective categories.
