Merik Erickson, G, Delta Ice Hawks – Just back from a stint with the BCHL’s Merritt Centennials, Erickson was all but unbeatable in his first two starts of the season for Delta.

On the road against the Richmond Sockeyes two nights later, Erickson stopped 25 of 26 shots in a 4-1 Ice Hawks win. For the week, Erickson posted a .960 save percentage and 1.00 goals-against average.
Daniel Dallapace, D, Port Moody Panthers – Coming into last week’s action with a goal over five games, Dallapace went off for three goals and three assists in leading the Panthers to two home wins. On Saturday, the Burnaby native scored twice and assisted on two others, including the game-winner, in a 6-4 win over the Grandview Steelers where he was named 1st Star. The next day, Dallapace scored the 5-0 goal for Port Moody – which turned out to be the game-winning marker – in a 7-4 win against the visiting Surrey Knights.
