A strong showing by Rieling in August turned a few heads in St. James’ direction. Tallying nine goals and an assist, Riesling showed off his quick release and ability to find the open spaces in only four games of the Showcase.
DEFENSE
Andrew Browing Elam, MYHA Blue
Browning Elam has been solid on the Blue Devils defense corp. While helping in his own end, limiting the opponents to just over two goals-against-per-game, Browning Elam also has contributed offensively with five goals and eight points, including four points in his last four games.
Christopher Triolo, Hollydell Hurricanes Red
A sturdy defender, Triolo has helped out offensively for Hollydell by contributing four goals and seven points in seven games. With his foot speed, Triolo is someone who can lead the way out of his own end to start the attack for Hollydell.
Marshall Matyszczak, Royals Hockey Club
While he has helped the Royals limit the opposition to 11 goals in eight games, Matyszczak has found his offensive stride in his last couple AHF contests. In the last two games, Matyszczak has two goals and two assists in the two wins for the Royals.
GOALIE
Laith Ramadan, New Jersey Stars
Quiet off the ice, Ramadan lets his technical sound play do the talking for him. Excelling at post-to-post play thanks to his butterfly style, Ramadan has an active stick and is not afraid of throwing a pokecheck to break-up a pass or shot.
Chase Kishler, Igloo Jaguars
Kishler has played a big role in the Jaguars success, posting a 2.05 GAA and .920 save percentage in his seven games. Kishler also has two shutouts to his record, while making crucial saves to keep the Jaguars ahead.

Sean’s strong net-front presence and soft hands make him a scoring threat on every shift. He also plays with a little edge that makes him difficult to compete against. His 12 points in eight games are good enough for second on the team as he continues to make an impact each game.

Drew Deich and Jonathon Dilliplane, Igloo Jaguars
Tending the nets for the Jags, this duo has been rock solid all year. Deich is a model of efficiency as he is always in a position to make a save. Equally strong, Dilliplane has shown the ability to “stand on his head” and steal a game for the Jags with his cat-quick glove. The Jags netminders have frustrated the sharpest of shooters all year long.
.
Lucas Yenal, Haverford Hawks
Lucas gives the Hawks a stabilizing presence in the net and always delivers the spectacular save when the Hawks are in need of a boost.
