Nothing like another exciting week, the Edmonton Rush had a number of stars in their dismantling of Rochester. Colorado rookie goalie Alex Buque gets his first start and earns the victory. Some stars stood out, and others were down and out. Week 13 Three Stars 1—Aaron Bold (Edm—31 saves) To say Bold was a brick wall would be an understatement. Bold faced 34 shots stopping 31 as he…

Picking three stars is a lot easier when there are fewer games and when teams only play once ina weekend that’s for sure. But when you have teams playing multiple games, rivalries, etc…it gets tough, but a lot of fun. Veterans are stepping up in a big way and the rookies are playing like veterans. What will next week hold??? Stay tuned. Week 11 Three Stars 1—Ryan Benesch…
