OAKLEY CENTRAL HOCKEY LEAGUE GOALTENDER OF THE WEEK ANNOUNCED
Missouri’s Charlie Effinger Wins Weekly Award
The Central Hockey League announced today that the recipient for the Oakley Central Hockey League Goaltender of the Week for the period ending February 28, 2010 is Charlie Effinger of the Missouri Mavericks.
Effinger won four games in a very busy week for the red-hot Mavericks. The rookie goaltender was acquired in a trade by Missouri at the CHL’s trade deadline and has been nothing short of spectacular ever since for the expansion Mavericks. His accolades from this past week include an overtime win versus Wichita, a shootout win versus Mississippi and a relief win over Tulsa where he entered the game with his team trailing and proceeded to stop all 20 shots he faced giving the Mavs time to re-take the lead and eventually win. The Belleville, Illinois native’s top save total for the week came on Sunday with 32 stops in a 4-2 win at Texas. Effinger is 7-1-0 with Missouri and 15-4-1 overall.
In recognition of their achievements both Deschatelets and Effinger will receive a special gift from Oakley.
