Easton Hockey NA3EHL Forward of the Month: Jimmy Warrick, New York Aviators

In the month of September, few players were better than Jimmy Warrick.  The 19-year-old forward from Chicago, IL, tied for the NA3EHL scoring lead with 18 points in seven games played as the Aviators jumped out to a 6-1 start. Warrick (5’7/180) recorded at least a point in all seven games and he had mutli-point games in six of them. His totals included six goals, 12 assists and a +15 rating. His best outing came on September 26th when he had five points in a 7-2 win at Roc City. He also scored the game-winning goal in the club’s season debut in a win over Syracuse. “I am very happy that Jimmy has been able to receive this honor from the league.  He is certainly worthy of any recognition.  Not only has he shown to be a tremendous hockey player but his academic success and dedication to community and to children is something that really sets him apart from others. He is the type of player every team and league would love to have,” said New York head coach Mike Stanaway.

Easton Hockey NA3EHL Defenseman of the Month: Cole Skelly, Skylands Kings

Skylands Kings defenseman Cole Skelly, 18, made his mark in the team’s first three games as the expansion Kings got off to a great start in the month of September with a 2-1 record. The native of Landing, NJ, recorded at least a point in all three games and was a +5 during the month. Skelly (6’2/190) totalled six points in the three games. In the team’s season debut, Skelly had a two assists in a close 5-4 loss against New York. The next weekend, he put up four points, including two goals in a weekend home sweep of the Wilkes-Barre Miners. "Cole has so far been everything we expected. We named Skelly our captain earlier this month and he has lived up to the expectations. He has had some success offensively but it is what he has done defensively that is most impressive. He is a guy that we rely on heavily to guide our young defensive corps,” said Patrick Choules, Director of Hockey Programming for the Kings.
