Oakley CHL Player/Goaltender of the Week Announced

January 21, 2008 - 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 January 20th, 2008 are left wing Ryan Watson of the Oklahoma City Blazers and goaltender Miguel Beaudry of the Austin Ice Bats.

Watson helped the Blazers to a 2-0 week with four goals and an assist and carried a +6 plus/minus rating. The Lethbridge, Alberta native played in the CHL All-Star game in Broomfield, Colorado on Wednesday night and then scored a goal in Oklahoma City's 3-1 victory over Laredo on Friday night. He followed that up with a hat trick and an assist in the Blazers 8-1 victory over Tulsa on Saturday night. Watson has been hot lately scoring 11 goals with 11 assists in his last 20 games. On the season, the 6-3, 200-pound forward is second on the Blazers with 39 points and tied for the team lead with 24 assists.

Beaudry receives the top weekly goaltender award for the second time this season (Oakley/CHL Goaltender of the Week for the Week of November 26th, 2007). His most recent recognition is on the heels of a 2-0 week allowing four goals while stopping 86 of 90 shots. The Ice Bats are one of the hottest teams in the CHL winning four straight games and six of their last seven. The Verner, Ontario native stopped 40 shots on Friday in a win versus Corpus Christi and 46 shots in the Ice Bats victory on Saturday over Amarillo. On the season, Beaudry is 8-13-0 with a 3.56 goals against average and a .902 save percentage.

In recognition of their achievements, both Watson and Beaudry will receive a special gift from Oakley.
