PRESCOTT VALLEY, Ariz. - The Arizona Sundogs, in conjunction with the Central Hockey League, today announced that forward Alex Leavitt has been named Oakley/CHL Player of the Week for the period ending March 9.
In four games this past week, Leavitt recorded multiple points in each game totaling 12 points (4g/8a) and a plus-8 rating.
