CHL Skills & Thrills

The 2006 Central Hockey League All-Star Skills Competition preceded the All-Star Game on January 18th, with each conference claiming two individual honors and the Northern Conference claiming overall bragging rights with a 9-6 win. Wichita sniper Joe Blaznek earns the title of Marc Ecko Watches Fastest Skater this season, finishing a lap of the Dodge Arena ice surface in 14.09 seconds to edge the 14.20 recorded by Lubbock’s Nolan Graham.

Amarillo defenseman Mark DeSantis won the Best Buy Hardest Shot event with an 88 mile per hour blast to dethrone defending champion Derek Landmesser of the Memphis RiverKings.

Derek Hahn, the CHL’s leading scorer with 67 points heading into the All-Star Break, showcased his talents in the Sher-Wood Accuracy Shootout, needing just the minimum four shots to hit all four targets.

Bossier-Shreveport netminder Ken Carroll took home top overall goaltender honors, stopping a combined 13 of 15 shots in the Oakley Rapid Fire and Oakley Breakaway Relay events.
