OAKLEY CENTRAL HOCKEY LEAGUE PLAYER OF THE WEEK ANNOUNCED
Tulsa’s Jeff Christian Earns Weekly Award
The Central Hockey League announced today that the recipient for the Oakley CHL Player of the Week for the period ending Feb 9th, 2009 is forward Jeff Christian of the Tulsa Oilers. He also won the award on December 1st, 2008.
Christian helped the Oilers earn points in all three of their games last week. The veteran winger scored three goals with five assists and was a very solid +7 on the week. The big game of the week for the Burlington, Ontario native came during the Oilers 6-0 shutout win at Wichita on Saturday night when he scored a pair of goals with three helpers. The 6-2, 210-pound forward had a goal and three assists in Tulsa’s shootout loss versus Wichita earlier in the week. On the season, Christian is tied for third in the league’s scoring race with 64 points (24-40=64). Tulsa went 1-0-2 during the week.
In recognition of his achievement, Christian will receive a special gift from Oakley.
