CHARLOTTE, NC (February 8, 2012) - The Southern Professional Hockey League (SPHL) today announced Chris Wilson of the Pensacola Ice Flyers is the SBK Player of the Week for January 30-February 5.

Wilson scored six goals, including a record-tying five in one game, added four assists and was +10 as he led Pensacola to seven of a possible eight points on the road last week.

Wilson kicked the week off on Tuesday by scoring one goal and setting up two others as the Ice Flyers traveled to Louisiana and came away with a 4-3 win. On Thursday, the Prince Albert, Saskatchewan native etched his name in the record books by scoring five goals in Pensacola's 8-1 win at Fayetteville. Wilson scored twice in the first period and three more times in the second to join Rob Sich and Steve Roberts as the only SPHL players to score five goals in a single game. Wilson then added an assist in each of Pensacola's next two games as the Ice Flyers split a pair of games at Huntsville, losing 4-3 in a shootout on Friday before winning by the same score on Saturday.

Last season, Wilson led the SPHL in goals (39), game-winning goals (9) and shorthanded goals (4 - tied) and was second in points (71), earning him Rookie of the Year and All-SPHL first team honors.

Also Nominated: Drew Baker, Augusta (2 gp, 4a, +3), Greg Beller, Columbus (3 gp, 2g, 1a, 2 ppg), Justin Fox, Huntsville (2 gp, 4g, 1 gwg), David Segal, Knoxville (2 gp, 1g), Kyle Lundale, Mississippi RiverKings (3gp, 1g, 2a) and Adam Stuart, Mississippi Surge (3 gp, 2g, +3, 2 gwg)
