February 20, 2006 - International Hockey League 2 (IHL 2)
Richmond RiverDogs News Release


RICHMOND, VA - The Richmond RiverDogs, proud members of the United Hockey League, announce that forward Mike Oliveira has been named Sher-wood UHL Player of the Week for the week ending Sunday, February 19th. 2006 has been good to Oliveira as this is the second league award he has won, the first being the Sher-wood UHL Player of the Month in January. In three games, Mike scored 8 goals, 1 assist for 9 points, which includes back-to-back hat tricks in the 8-1 victory over Roanoke Valley on Wednesday, February 19 and in the 6-5 shootout victory over Muskegon on Friday, February 20th.

Mike Oliveira is riding two long streaks; one is a point-scoring streak, which now stands at 20 games and a goal-scoring streak in which he has scored 10 goals in five games. He was one of two RiverDogs (Dan Vandermeer being the other) who played in the 2006 UHL All-Star Classic, which was held in St. Charles, MO on January 25, 2006.

The RiverDogs are 25-22-5, 55 points, and is currently 9th in the United Hockey League, just one point out of playoff contention. All eyes are on the Quad City Mallards and Motor City Mechanics, who are tied for eighth. The next RiverDogs home game is this Friday, February 24th, at the Richmond Coliseum against Danbury. Face-off is 7:35 pm. It will also be the first of two Scout Nights with the RiverDogs. Scout leaders are encouraged to call the RiverDogs office at 804-225-7825 and book their pack or troop at special discounted rates.
