Columbus Cottonmouths News Release


Columbus Cottonmouths goaltender Ian Vigier has been named the SPHL player of the week for his performances during the week of February 8. This is the second consecutive week a Snakes player has earned the league's weekly honors, as forward Tim Green received the recognition last week.

Vigier compiled a 2-0 record this weekend, defeating the Huntsville Havoc on back to back nights, with a 1.95 Goals Against Average and .943 save percentage. The Notre Dame de Lourdes, Manitoba native stopped 36 of 38 shots Friday, helping guide the Snakes to a 4-2 home victory. He allowed just two goals on the road in Huntsville Saturday, holding Huntsville scoreless on the powerplay, and leading the Snakes to a 3-2 overtime victory.

Vigier is in his second season with the Snakes, and currently holds a 12-8-2 record. Throughout the season, he has received several call-ups to South Carolina of the ECHL this season, playing 11 games for the Stingrays. Vigier is currently ranked second among SPHL goaltenders with a 2.83 GAA.

The Snakes play four games in five nights this week, hosting the Twin City Cyclones Tuesday, the Havoc Thursday, then heading to Winston-Salem, NC for a pair of weekend games against the Cyclones. Thursday is Georgia Lottery Night. The first 500 fans, 18+, receive a scratch-off ticket. Dollar hotdogs will be available through Aramark.
