Muskegon Lumberjacks News Release


MUSKEGON, Mich. - Muskegon Lumberjacks rearguard Nathan McBrayer has been named USHL Defenseman of the Week for week 19 of the 2021-22 USHL regular season.

For the second time in three weeks, a member of the Lumberjacks blueline was named Defenseman of the Week (Tyler Dunbar - Week 17) after picking up a trio of assists in Muskegon's shootout loss to the NTDP last Friday night. McBrayer, a native of Columbus, Ohio, picked up a pair of assists on the second and third goals of the game for Muskegon before finding himself with a third assist on a shorthanded goal late in the third period to force the eventual overtime and shootout. The Ohio State University commit has been productive for the Lumberjacks this season, recording 13 points (1-12-13) in 38 games this season.

With the Defenseman of the Week award, McBrayer is now the third Muskegon blueliner to earn an award this season, joining Dunbar and Jacob Guevin (Week 6) and pushed the Lumberjacks to a league-leading eighth Weekly Award this season as Jake Braccini (Week 9), Quinn Hutson (Week 10) and Jack Williams (Week 15) are former Forwards of the Week and Platon Zadorozhnyy (Week 11) and Cameron Korpi (Week 17) have each earned a Goaltender of the Week award.
