Mississippi RiverKings News Release
(Southaven, MS) --- The Mississippi RiverKings of the Central Hockey League have announced that Ray Jean has been named the CHL Goaltender of the Week, for games played through Sunday, October 25.
Jean, 27, in his first CHL season, was the winning goaltender for the RiverKings in a pair of victories over the defending CHL champion Texas Brahmas last weekend.
The Randolph, Maine native stopped a total of 59 shots on goal in the two victories, a 3-2 shootout victory over the Brahmas in Southaven on Friday, October 23rd and a 5-3 victory in the Brahmas' home opener Saturday, October 24th.
The victories moved Jean's record to 3-1-0 for the season. Entering this week's play, he has a 3.18 goals-against-average and a save percentage of .893. Jean is tied for the CHL lead in wins with three, first overall in minutes played with 245, and second in the CHL for saves with 109.

Jean came to the RiverKings in the off-season after playing briefly in the AHL and ECHL. He became a pro after a four-year collegiate hockey career split between Maine and Bentley.
The RiverKings will spend the Halloween weekend with a pair of games at home, beginning Friday night at 7:05 PM against the Tulsa Oilers, followed by a Halloween afternoon home game against the Bossier-Shreveport Mudbugs, and starting at 3:05 PM.
