Oakley CHL Player/Goaltender of the Week Announced
Published on February 25, 2008 under 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 February 24th, 2008 are defenseman Vladimir Hartinger of the New Mexico Scorpions and goaltender Miguel Beaudry of the Austin Ice Bats.
Hartinger jumped to the top of the heap among defensemen with his 10-point week. The Rio Rancho, New Mexico resident scored five goals with five assists in the three games versus Arizona this past week. The Scorpions took two out of three against the Southwest Division leaders and now find themselves just two points out of the division's top spot. Hartinger started the week with a hat trick (the first of his career) and an assist along with a plus 4 rating in the Scorps 6-4 win at Arizona. The four-point night also moved him into the franchises' top spot among defensemen passing Eric Ricard. He followed that up with two goals and four assists in the weekend's games at Prescott Valley that had New Mexico spilt the two contests. For the season, Hartinger leads all defensemen with 50 points (17-33=50) and ranks second with his 17 goals and first with 10 power play goals.
Beaudry went 2-0-0 this past week becoming the first three-time winner of the weekly award this season. The Verner, Ontario native stopped 52 of 54 shots (.962) winning 5-1 on Thursday versus Rio Grande Valley and 3-1 on Saturday versus Corpus Christi. Beaudry has the Ice Bats in the fifth and final spot in the Southern Conference playoff chase leading by a point over Amarillo. For the season, Beaudry is 15-16-0 with a 2.95 goals against average (ninth in the CHL) and a .915 save percentage. He is fifth in the league in minutes played (1848:36), fifth in saves (985) and second in shootout wins (five).
In recognition of their achievements, both Hartinger and Beaudry will receive a special gift from Oakley.
