Myrtle Beach Thunderboltz News Release
FLORENCE, SC â The Pee Dee Pride, in conjunction with the ECHL, announced today that Pride center Kyle Kidney has been named as the ECHL InGlasCo Player of the Week for the opening weekend of the season.
Kidney, in his third season with the Pride, scored two goals in Pee Dee's 3-2 season opening win over Atlantic City on Friday. He scored the team's first goal of the season 12:29 into the opening period. This is the second straight season that Kidney has scored the team's first goal of the season. In Saturday's 4-1 win over Augusta, Kidney added a goal (game-winner) and an assist. Through two games, Kidney is tied for second in the league in goals (3) and is tied for fourth in points (4).
This is the first time in over two years that a Pride player has received the ECHL's weekly honor. The last Pride player to win the player of the week award was Dany Bousquet for the week of January 21-27, 2002. It is just the fifth time in the team's eight-year history that a player has been recognized as the league's player of the week.
The Pride are on the road for three games this week, starting with tonight's contest at South Carolina. This weekend, the Pride head north for a pair of games at Johnstown on Friday and Saturday. All three games start at 7:00 p.m., and all of the action can be heard on WDAR Sunny 105.5 starting with the Palmetto Chiropractic Pre-Game Show at 6:40.
