Rio Grande Valley Killer Bees News Release

HIDALGO, TEXAS --- The Rio Grande Valley Killer Bees, in conjunction with the Central Hockey League (CHL), today announced that rookie netminder Wylie Rogers has been named the CHL's Sher-Wood Goalie of the Month for October.

This is the first such award for the Killer Bees since March 2004 when Jeff Levy received co-Goalie of the Month honors with Scott Reid.

Rogers, 23, finished October with a perfect 4-0-0 record. Entering the week, his 1.57 GAA is third in the league, while his .957 save percentage is first overall. He is tied for second in the league with four wins and his six goals allowed are the fewest among goalies appearing in three or more games.

The Fairbanks, Alaska, native played four seasons of Division 1 college hockey at the University of Alaska-Fairbanks. As a rookie in 2004-05, he earned the team's Most Valuable Player and Rookie of the Year Awards, as well as being named to the CCHA (Central Collegiate Hockey Association) All-Rookie Team after going 15-12-4 with a 2.88 GAA and .906 save percentage. He set the school record for highest save percentage in a season (.918) during his sophomore campaign and was a three-time CCHA Goalie of the Week over the course of his junior and senior seasons.

The Killer Bees face Odessa this Friday night and travel Saturday to face Laredo at 7:30 p.m. Both games will be broadcast on Real Country 102.1 FM, the new flagship home for Killer Bees hockey.
