Moose's Moran named Rbk/AHL Player of the Week
Published on March 31, 2008 under American Hockey League (AHL) News Release
SPRINGFIELD, Mass. ... The American Hockey League announced today that Manitoba Moose center Brad Moran has been named the Rbk/AHL Player of the Week for the period ending March 30, 2008. Moran notched eight points on a goal and seven assists in four road games last week as the Moose clinched a berth in the 2008 Calder Cup Playoffs.
Moran began the week with a three-assist performance to help Manitoba to a 7-2 win at Lake Erie on Tuesday night, then recorded two assists in Wednesday's 4-1 victory at Rochester as the Moose extended their winning streak to 10 games. Moran came back with a goal and an assist on Friday to help Manitoba erase a four-goal deficit en route to a 5-4 shootout loss to Rochester. And Saturday, he assisted on the only Moose goal in a 6-1 loss at Toronto.
In recognition of his achievement, Moran will be presented with an etched crystal award prior to an upcoming Moose home game.
