Spirit's Erickson leads from blueline to grab share of Sher-Wood NAHL Defensive Player of the Week
January 6, 2005 - North American Hockey League (NAHL) News Release
Ringing out the old year in style, the Springfield Spirit traveled to Central Texas in late December and defenseman Sean Erickson, their top-scoring blue liner, helped his team take two on the road. In the process he was named co-winner of the Sher-Wood NAHL Defensive Player of the Week for Week 14. Scoring the game-winning goal and adding an assist in the December 29 game in Temple, Texas, the Eden Prairie, Minnesota native helped the Spirit down a determined home team 5-4. The next night Erickson broke a scoreless tie with an early second period goal and the Spirit never looked back, cruising to a 5-2 victory.
