Phoenix RoadRunners News Release
PHOENIX, Ariz. - The Phoenix RoadRunners of the ECHL, a proud affiliate of the San Jose Sharks and the Worcester Sharks, are pleased to announce that Daniel Sisca has been named the first In Glas Co ECHL Player of the Week of the 2007-08 season for the week of Oct. 15-21. The announcement was made earlier this afternoon at the ECHL offices in Princeton, N.J.
Sisca, 24, tallied four goals, including two power play goals, a shorthanded tally, and one game-winning goal, and added two assists in three games last week to lead the RoadRunners to a weekend sweep of the visiting Utah Grizzlies and the first 3-0-0 start in the club's brief ECHL history.
The Woodbridge, Ontario native and fourth-year professional signed with the RoadRunners as a free agent on Aug. 27. Sisca tallied nine goals and 24 points in 32 games last season with HC Milan of the Italian "Serie A". Sisca was a 2006 ECHL All-Star and a member of the 2005-06 ECHL All-Rookie Team after totaling 29 goals and 79 points in 71 games with the Florida Everblades.
On behalf of Sisca, a case of pucks will be donated to a Phoenix area youth hockey organization by In Glas Co, the exclusive puck supplier for the ECHL. Since beginning its sponsorship of the award in 2000-01, In Glas Co has donated more than 15,000 pucks to youth hockey organizations in ECHL cities.
Goaltender Cody Rudkowsky finished runner-up to Las Vegas' John Curry for the Rbk Hockey ECHL Goalie of the Week award. Rudkowsky went 2-0-0 last week with a 2.00 goals against average and a .938% save percentage after stopping 61 of 65 shots.
The RoadRunners continue their season opening 12-game home-stand at 7:11 p.m. Wednesday as they welcome the Stockton Thunder to US Airways Center.
