Games of Dec. 3-9, 2024
Forward: Braxton Powers, Islanders Hockey Club
Powers (‘04/Raleigh, N.C.) continues to be a major threat in his fourth season with the Islanders and second year as captain. He put up four goals over the stretch of games between Dec. 3-9, and improved his career point totals to 94 in 121 games.
Defense: Zachary Walsh, South Shore Kings
Walsh (‘05/Lake View, N.Y.) was strong with a four-assist showing over the Kings’ two most recent games, including their Friday game that saw them tie the record for longest winning streak in NCDC history at a 19-0 run. He now has 19 points in 22 games.
Goaltender: Cole Scullion, Worcester Railers JHC
Scullion (‘06/Burlington, Ont.) registered two wins in a row to extend his personal winning streak to five games.

He stopped 33 of 35 Kings’ shots and then went on to defeat the Northern Cyclones, with 31 saves on 33 shots.
