OAKLEY CENTRAL HOCKEY LEAGUE PLAYER OF THE WEEK ANNOUNCED
Bossier-Shreveport’s Dale Lupul 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 2nd, 2009 is defenseman Dale Lupul of the Bossier-Shreveport Mudbugs.
Lupul helped propel the Mudbugs to three wins last week scoring three goals with three assists with a +4 plus/minus rating. The Port Coquitlam, British Columbia native started the week with a pair of assists in the ‘Bugs 5-0 win versus Oklahoma City on Tuesday. He followed that up with two goals (including the game winner) in a 3-2 win, once again against the Blazers, on Friday night and then capped the week off with a goal and an assist in Bossier-Shreveport’s 4-1 win versus Texas on Saturday. The 6-2, 210-pounder becomes the third defenseman to win the weekly award joining Amarillo’s Neil Smith and Texas’ Justin Kinnunen. On the season, Lupul has nine goals and 28 assists leading all Mudbugs defensemen in scoring.
In recognition of his achievement, Lupul will receive a special gift from Oakley.
