His Impact:  Ty's been putting forth an enormous amount of effort all season long, and now when everybody is starting to feel the affects of the rigorous GHL schedule, Ty is still strong, and releasing a late season poison on the GHL.  The back to back Wayne Gretzky Recipient may very well have the most shots on goal out of any player this year, many of them not showing up in the stats, but earning the ones he has gotten.

DATE: Week of Sunday, January 27th
Clark Swanson

 
His Statistics: Clark exploded for a 1 goal 1 point total, but the goal was a game winner.
 
His Impact:  Before the goal, Clark had not had a point.  His team needed a goal to break a 4-4 deadlock tie, and Clark responded.  He got a 2 on 0 with Brent Larson, faked the cross ice pass and snuck the puck five hole on goaltender Sam Martin.  The benches cleared, and rushed to congratulate Clark, the first time in GHL history the benches have cleared. Even the other team joined in.  It was one of those top 10 moments in GHL history.

The minor league from Concordia proved he is no fluke, he's a gamer on a consistent level, plus he has surpassed Travis Alvine's rookie totals (28 in 18 games) to claim 1st place among rookies and 5th overall in GHL player rankings.

Zach Riveland

zrwebcut.jpg
His Statistics: Although no official stats were recorded due to the fact that the first game was a preseason game, Zach only allowed in a total of 8 goals in 2 hours of hockey.
 
His Impact:  Zach showed amazing puck stopping ability in the preseason.  He always seemed to know where the puck was and how to keep it out of his net.  He helped the GHL Orange defeat the GHL Blue at the Gambucci. He proved he is only getting better and ready to accept the challenge of GHL 07-08.    He wanted to show Travis he could compete this year, and in the preseason game, he did better. He showed he could beat Travis if he was on.    
   However, Travis's domain is the small rink with the smaller goals and the rougher ice.  Look for Zach to try to improve under these conditions and step up to the task of competing with Trapper.
