Victoria Salmon Kings News Release
Victoria, BC - The Victoria Salmon Kings, proud affiliate of the Vancouver Canucks and Manitoba Moose, are proud to announce that Salmon King All-Star forward Ash Goldie was named the Most Valuable Player of the 2008 Chase Chevrolet ECHL All-Star Game held Wednesday night at the Stockton Arena.
Goldie set a new ECHL All-Star Game record by accruing six points. He scored three goals and counted three assists in the National Conference's 10-7 victory. The three goals were scored on four shots, and Goldie ended the game with a ranking of +5. The previous record was held by Andy MacIntyre, he collected five points for the Canada All-Stars in the 1998 ECHL All-Star Game.
Goldie was also the front half of the record for two fastest goals by one team in All-Star history. Goldie's scored at the 16:55 mark of the second period and that was followed up a mere 16 seconds later when Peter Ferraro of the Las Vegas Wranglers put home the record beating goal. The previous two fastest goals in ECHL All-Star history occurred in 1998 when Mike Lavenders and Andy MacIntyre scored 17 seconds apart for the Canada All-Stars.
The record breaking exploits of Ash Goldie began on Tuesday night, when he set a Skills Competition record in the MeiGray Group Accuracy Shooting Competition. Goldie hit all four of the targets and was the first player to do so in the competition's 11 years.
The Salmon Kings' netminder Julien Ellis was named the starter for the All-Star game for the National Conference. Ellis allowed two goals on six shots in the game's opening period.
The Salmon Kings travel to Alaska this weekend to take on the Aces. Game time is 8:15 PST. The Kings return home on Monday, February 11th when Fresno comes to Victoria. Call 280-7889 for tickets.
