The aforementioned but not named league leading scorer, Siamion Marshchanok (‘05/Minsk, Belarus) scored a pair of goals and added four assists for six points in two games to improve to No. 1 in points with 57 points. Siamion and twin brother Matsvei are both products of the USPHL Premier’s Potomac Patriots – the best examples this year of USPHL Advancement In Action!
