Alex Goupil in the Lineup
Both Games This Weekend
This weekend the Danbury Whalers hockey team will be home on Friday and Saturday. Gametime for both games is 7:35 PM.
Alex Goupil will be in the lineup for both games for the Whalers.
Goupil, one of the most popular players to play in Danbury, began his professional career in 2004 with the Trashers in the United Hockey League. He played two seasons for the Trashers scoring 50 goals in 136 regular season games. Over his six professional seasons (370 games) Goupil's totals are 162 goals, 154 assists, and almost a point a game average for his career.
Last weekend in his return to Danbury, Goupil had a goal and an assist and the Whalers won both games he played in.
Danbury Whalers President / Senior Partner / CFO, Alan Friedman commented, "When we got Alex, we knew he brought a lot to the table. When we actually got him here in the locker room and on the ice - it went way beyond what we ever anticipated. We should have paid a million dollars to get him last year because that is what he's worth."
Big Red - Sweet 16
In two seasons in the Federal Hockey League, the Danbury Whalers have had numerous heroes step up on and off the ice. It is time to recognize one who has stayed under the radar but has been a huge force in the development of this organization.
Sean O'Malley is the career leader in Danbury Whaler games played. Out of 90 games in the Danbury Whalers history, Sean O'Malley has played in 89 of them. Big Red has 31 goals in his career including 8 on the power play and 4 game winners.
While there is no shortage of stars in green, the next time you are looking for a guy to cheer, stand up and give the guy in #16 Green from Cleveland, Ohio a big round of applause.

The Danbury Whalers have announced that their game against the Brooklyn Aviators scheduled for Wednesday, Februrary 29th at 11:45, has been rescheduled and moved back to its original time of 7:35 PM.
