Allen, Texas- The two-time defending Kelly Cup Champions and ECHL announced today that Americans goalie Riley Gill has been named the CCM/ ECHL Goaltender of the Week for a second week in a row.
Gill went 2-0-0 last week with a 0.53 goals-against average with a .987 save percentage stopping 74 of 75 shots he faced in wins over the Missouri Mavericks and Wichita Thunder. Gill recorded his third straight road shutout in a 3-0 win over the Wichita Thunder last Friday night stopping all 45 shots he faced.
"It's a great honor to be recognized by our league," said Gill. "I have to give props to the guys in front of me who blocked shots and did the little things to help our team earn five out of a possible six points last week. We've been playing some solid hockey for the last few weeks."
The Americans host the Colorado Eagles tomorrow night at 7:05 PM at Allen Event Center. Tickets are on sale NOW at www.allenamericans.com or call 972-912-1000.
