Oakley CHL Player/Goaltender of the Week Announced
November 12, 2007 - Central Hockey League (CHL) News Release
The Central Hockey League announced today that the recipients for the Oakley CHL Player and Goaltender of the Week for the period ending November 11th, 2007 are center Simon Watson of the Rocky Mountain Rage and goaltender Sebastien Centomo of the Mississippi RiverKings.
Watson had a remarkable two-game stretch last week that saw him notch a hat trick on back-to-back nights. For the week, the Waterloo, Ontario native had six goals and three assists in two games, both victories for the Rage. On Friday night, Watson had three goals and an assist in Rocky Mountain's 7-4 win over Texas and then for an encore he had three goals and two assists in a 7-2 victory over Amarillo on Saturday night. The 27-year-old forward currently ranks just outside the CHL's top 10 with 15 points (8-7=15). Watson was a CHL All-Star last season with Lubbock where he finished with 49 points (24-25=49) in 64 games. The 6-0, 182-pound forward was signed by the Rage in the off-season.
Centomo led the RiverKings to victories in each of his starts last week and has been a catalyst in the team's 7-2-0 record this season. In Tuesday's 5-2 victory in Tulsa, the Laval, Quebec native made 29 saves allowing just two goals and then in Saturday's 3-0 shutout of Oklahoma City he recorded 36 saves. On the season, Centomo is 4-1-0 with a 1.60 goals against average (third in the CHL) and a .944 save percentage (third in the CHL). The 6-1, 196-pound goaltender was acquired by Mississippi in the off-season from Oklahoma City completing a prior trade.
In recognition of their achievements, both Watson and Centomo will receive a special gift from Oakley.
