Allen Americans News Release
ALLEN, Texas - The Central Hockey League announced today that Chris Whitley was named the Oakley CHL Goaltender of the Week for the period ending Jan. 24.
This marks the third time in the 2009-10 season that the rookie netminder has received the honor (Nov. 23, Jan. 4). He becomes the first goaltender to win three times in one season since Miguel Beaudry won the award four times during the 2007-08 season while a member of the Austin Ice Bats.
Whitley earned three wins last week to hold his place atop league goaltenders with the most wins at 19. The Oshawa, Ontario, native only allowed four goals in three victories over Arizona, Missouri and Bossier-Shreveport.
The 6-foot-1, 215-pound goaltender is 19-7-2 this season with a.915 save percentage.
Whitley, 26, graduated from Lakehead University in May where he holds numerous records and earned various honors, including OUA Men's Hockey Most Valuable Player and being the only netminder to have a perfect regular season in OUA play (15-0 in 2007-08) for Lakehead.
In recognition of his achievement, Whitley will receive a special gift from Oakley.
Allen's next game is Friday, Jan. 29, at the Allen Event Center when the Americans host Corpus Christi at 7:30 p.m. as part of Hockey Weekend Across America.
