NOJHL names its weekly Eastlink 3 Stars
Gold Miners’ Wegleitner, Wildcats’ Spencer, Beavers’ Doak earn weekly honours
SUDBURY, Ont. – The Northern Ontario Junior Hockey League announced Monday that forwards Gunnar Wegleitner of the Kirkland Lake Gold Miners and Evan Spencer of the Elliot Lake Wildcats, along with Blind River Beavers goaltender Aidan Doak have been named the Eastlink TV 3 Stars of the week for the period ending Jan. 22.
GUNNAR WEGLEITNER, (F) KIRKLAND LAKE GOLD MINERS – Wegleitner’s efforts helped the Gold Miners finish off a three-game road trip with a pair of victories.
After sitting out in a setback at Elliot Lake Friday, the 18-year-old Vancouver, B.C. product returned to the Kirkland Lake line-up Saturday and scored twice, including game-winner, and added an assist in just his second contest with the club helping his new team earn an away triumph at Rayside-Balfour Saturday.
Wegleitner then tacked on two more goals Sunday as the Gold Miners skated to a decision over Espnaola Sunday afternoon.
EVAN SPENCER, (F) ELLIOT LAKE WILDCATS – The 17-year-old from Orangeville, Ont., played a part in all three of the Wildcats wins last week.
Spencer began by notching a goal in a victory over visiting Kirkland Lake Friday.
He then followed that up with a pair of assists in a road triumph at French River Saturday before capping off his week with a tally and another helper in a come from behind triumph over the Soo Eagles Sunday at Centennial Arena.
Since joining Elliot Lake earlier this month, Spencer is averaging a point-per-game with seven in as many outings, including three markers.
AIDAN DOAK, (G) BLIND RIVER BEAVERS – Doak’s lone start last week for the resurgent Beavers was an impressive one as backstopped his side to a triumph over the Soo Eagles Friday.
The 20-year-old native of Newmarket, Ont., stoned the Eagles throughout the contest handling all 57 shots he faced to post his first NOJHL shutout along the way.
The Blind River netminder has gone 4-1-0-0 in his past five appearances and has registered a stingy 1.08 goals-against average and a stellar .972 save percentage in that span.
