North Stars’ Arabia named SIJHL – Play It Again Sports player of the week
THUNDER BAY, Ont. – The Superior International Junior Hockey League announced Monday that Thunder Bay North Stars forward Brad Arabia has been named the Play It Again Sports player of the week for the period ending Nov. 6.
In two road contests last week the 20-year-old Thunder Bay product had three points in regulation as well as a shootout marker helping the North Stars take a two-game set at Thief River Falls.
Arabia began by dishing out a pair of assists in a 5-1 triumph Friday.
He followed that up with his 10th tally of the season Saturday and then added a goal in the shootout as the North Stars rallied for a 4-3 victory over the Norskies.
Currently riding a five-game point streak, Arabia sits second on the team and sixth overall in SIJHL offensive production with 20 points.
Two of his markers have been game-winners, which ties him for second in the league in that category.
Also earning consideration for Play It Again Sports player of the week honours were the following:
Ryan Wagner, (G) Fort Frances Lakers; Eli Kinsman, (F) Minnesota Iron Rangers ; Eric Stout, (F) Dryden GM Ice Dogs; Michael Johnson, (F) Thief River Falls Norskies and Trevor Pereverzoff, (D) English River Miners.
