Following an impressive weekend on the road in Prince George, Express Captain James Shannon has earned a BCHL stars of the week nod.
The New York, New York product had three goals and one assist including a two-goal game on Friday night en-route to an Express weekend sweep of the Spruce Kings. Not reflected in those stats were his relentless defence and faceoff taking nor the special teams contributions. Shannon was up against Brock Cummings, a notoriously good draw-taker, for a high percentage of his faceoffs over the doubleheader and excelled. Then when it came to the powerplay and penalty kill, he was all over the ice.
Despite the successful weekend in his own right, the Captain gave an incredibly selfless interview after Saturday’s game against Prince George. The response to the news today would likely yield a similar reply of team first and excitement for the success of the group.
