NOONAN NAMED LEAGUE PLAYER OF THE WEEK
Fourth Defenseman Since 2010-11 to Earn Weekly Honor
Cincinnati, OH- The ECHL has announced that Cyclones defenseman Garrett Noonan has been named the Sher-Wood Hockey ECHL Player of the Week, for the week of February 8-14. Noonan recorded a pair of goals and dished out five assists over four games last week, helping Cincinnati to a four-game winning streak. Noonan is just the fourth defenseman since the 2010-11 season to be selected as League Player of the Week.
A native of Norfolk, MA, Noonan kicked off his monster week with back-to-back two-point performances, recording a goal and an assist in Cincinnati’s 4-1 win over the Kalamazoo Wings on Wednesday, and adding a power play goal and an assist on the game-winning tally in the Cyclones’ 6-5 win over the Ft. Wayne Komets on Friday. He then dished out an assist in Saturday’s 2-0 win over the Evansville IceMen, and added two more helpers in Sunday’s 4-3 overtime win over Evansville, including one on the game-winning tally.
Currently in his second professional season, Noonan leads all Cyclones defenseman, and is 14th amongst League blueliners in scoring with 26 points (5g, 21a). He is currently riding a four-game point streak, accounting for a pair of goals and five assists in that span, and has recorded nine points (2g, 7a) over his last six games played.
On behalf of Noonan, a case of pucks will be donated to a Cincinnati youth hockey organization by Sher-Wood Hockey; the exclusive puck supplier of the ECHL. Since beginning its sponsorship of the award in 2000-01, Sher-Wood Hockey has donated more than 33,000 pucks to youth hockey organizations in ECHL cities.
