Oakley CHL Player & Goaltender of the Week Announced

December 26, 2006 - Central Hockey League (CHL) News Release


The Week Ten recipients of the Oakley CHL Player and Goaltender of the Week awards have been determined. New Mexico right winger Mike Falk has been selected as the Oakley CHL Player of the Week after a pair of multiple point outings that led the Scorpions to back to back victories, while Colorado netminder Marco Emond has been tabbed Oakley CHL Goaltender of the Week after recording two wins and his second shutout of the season for the Eagles.

Falk has played a key role in New Mexico's recent resurgence with 16 points in his last 10 games, during which the Scorpions are undefeated in regulation with a 7-0-3 mark. During the past week he scored both his 10th and 11th goals of the season and added an assist in a 6-2 home win over Lubbock on December 22nd, then assisted on a pair of New Mexico goals in a 4-1 victory at Arizona the next night. Falk is currently riding a seven game point streak, and has points in 10 of his last 12 contests.

Emond continues to post impressive numbers for the Northwest Division leading Eagles, winning his 14th and 15th games of the season over the past week. He made 18 saves Friday night as Colorado handled visiting Wichita 4-2, then turned in his second shutout of the season on Saturday night, stopping all 36 Rocky Mountain shots in a 5-0 win that gave Colorado their CHL-leading 19th victory of the year. Emond ranks in the CHL's top 10 with a 2.75 goals against average, and his 15 wins are second to only the 16 recorded by Larry Sterling of the Memphis RiverKings.
