Third Star—Chris Attwood—Ohsweken Demons:

Second Star—Dave DiRuscio—Niagara Lock Monsters:
Despite being charged a loss, rookie netminder Dave DiRuscio was lights out this weekend making an outstanding 59 saves while holding the potent offense of the Demons to just five goals in the second half. DiRuscio has been stellar in his rookie campaign and may have solidified himself as the Lock Monsters starting goaltender moving forward.
