March 2, 2016 - SPHL (SPHL) News Release
HUNTERSVILLE, NC - The Southern Professional Hockey League (SPHL) on Wednesday announced Chris Wilson of the Peoria Rivermen is the Easton Player of the Month for February.
Wilson recorded at least one goal in each of Peoria's eight games in February, totaling 10 goals (two game-winners) and adding three assists to help the Rivermen maintain their hold on first place in the standings. Throughout the league, only four players had more points than Wilson had goals last month.
Wilson's eight-game goal streak is currently tied for third-longest in league history while his nine-game point streak (10g, 4a) is longest in the SPHL this season.
