MARQUETTE
- Marquette Rangers goaltender Dan Sullivan has been named the
GDI/North American Hockey League Goalie of The week after a pair
of overtime wins this past weekend over Traverse City. The 19
year old York, PA native turned aside 56 of the 59 shots he faced
against the North Stars as the Rangers won both games in overtime
at Lakeview Arena.
Sullivan, who was recently acquired from the Omaha Lancers of
the United States Hockey League, is now 3-2 as a Ranger with a
stingy 1.78 goals against average and a saves percentage of .928
in those five appearances.
"Dan has been outstanding back there," said head coach
Kenny Miller. "He gives us a chance to win every night and
when your goaltenders can do that, good things usually happen
for your hockey club."
With the two wins, the Rangers (8-10-3, 19 pts) have put some
separation between themselves and fifth-place Alpena in the NAHL
North Division standings, and can catch the third-place U.S. National
Team Development Program who the Rangers play this weekend in
Ann Arbor. The USNTDP leads Marquette by two points going into
this weekend's games at the Ann Arbor Ice Cube.
Sullivan is the third Rangers player to be honored by the league
this season. Forward Chad Pietila was named North Division Player
of The Week for his play the weekend of September 26th and 27th,
also against Traverse City. Defenseman Ryan McGrath was named
North Division POW for his play against Motor City the weekend
of October 23rd and 24th.
