Rocky Mountain Rage News Release
Broomfield, Colo. - For the third time this season, a Rocky Mountain Rage player has been nominated for the Central Hockey League's Performance of the Week. The 1-0 shootout victory posted by Rage goaltender Marty Magers on Dec. 13 against the Wichita Thunder is one of five nominees for the week of Dec. 8-14.
Not only did Magers shutout the Thunder by making 31 saves through regulation and overtime, he then also stone-walled all five Wichita shooters he faced in the tie-breaker to lead Rocky Mountain to back-to-back wins for just the second time this season. Magers' feat is the first "perfect game" by a goaltender in the CHL since the 2004-05 campaign.
The Rage's Scott Wray (hat trick on Nov. 22 vs. Rapid City) and Aaron Davis (hat trick on Nov. 28 vs. Amarillo) have also been nominated for the league's Performance of the Week this season.
CHL fans will determine which player or team turned in the Performance of the Week by voting on www.centralhockeyleague.com through Monday, Dec. 22. The winner will be announced on Dec. 23.
Magers' competition for Performance of the Week:
Corpus Christi's Dustin Traylen making 33 saves in 2-1 shootout win versus Laredo on December 11th
RGV's Grant Goeckner-Zoeller's hat trick in the Bees' 6-2 win over New Mexico on December 12th
Amarillo's Mike Gorman making 48 saves in a 5-3 road win versus Colorado on December 12th
Arizona and Colorado combining for a CHL record-tying 10 power play goals in the Eagles' 7-5 win on December 13th
