Oakley Central Hockey League Player and Goaltender of the Week Announced

March 26, 2007 - Central Hockey League (CHL) News Release


The Week 23 and final season recipients of the Oakley Central Hockey League Player and Goaltender of the Week awards have been determined following nominations from CHL member clubs. A pair of Laval, Quebec natives earn this week's honors, with Arizona defenseman Daniel Laperriere named the Oakley Player of the Week and Oklahoma City netminder Sebastien Centomo selected as the Oakley Goaltender of the Week. Laperriere recorded four goals and added five assists in three home victories for the Sundogs, while Centomo recorded road wins at Rocky Mountain and Wichita to help the Blazers secure the #4 seeding entering the Northern Conference playoffs.

Laperriere keyed a pair of Sundogs wins over the weekend by recording a total of four goals and four assists in matching 8-4 home victories over Rocky Mountain (Friday) and Colorado (Saturday) to give his club the #3 seeding entering the Southern Conference playoffs. His offensive production over the weekend also vaulted him into fifth place overall in scoring by CHL defensemen, finishing with a total of 57 points. 37 of his 57 points this season have come on the power play, recording six goals and 37 assists with the man advantage.

Centomo, today celebrating his 26th birthday, finished his regular season in his usual dependable fashion with his 18th and 19th wins of the season for the Blazers. He stopped 33 of 36 Rocky Mountain shots in a 4-3 road victory on March 20th, and then made another 30 saves in a narrow 3-2 win in Wichita Friday evening. With 19 total wins this season, the CHL's 2001-2002 Rookie of the Year (while with the Memphis RiverKings) is tied for eighth overall in the CHL. Centomo was selected as the Oakley Goaltender of the Week twice previously this season, winning the award in both weeks 3 and 16.
