PRINCETON, N.J. - Kevin Baker of the Texas Wildcatters is the In Glas Co ECHL Player of the Week for Oct. 30-Nov. 5, 2006. The 27-year-old scored a power-play goal and the game-winning goal in a 5-2 win at Columbia on Friday and he added another power-play goal on Saturday at Gwinnett. He scored three points in a 4-3 overtime loss at Charlotte on Sunday, including a power-play goal and the game-tying goal with 53 seconds remaining in the game. The 6-foot-1 and 190-pound Baker leads the league with nine goals and seven power-play goals while ranking third in scoring with 13 points. He has scored a goal in each of his last five games (7g), which is the longest goal-scoring streak in the ECHL this season, and has scored a goal in all but one game, including three two-goal games.

I wish we HAD a Beaumont area youth hockey organiztion
hockeyfan Posted November 8, 2006 Author Report Posted November 8, 2006 I believe that last season, when Ianiero won POTW, he donated the pucks to the Houston Jr. Aeros or some other Houston youth hockey organization. That's where Robert Dirk's son, Jagger, was playing at the time. I think that Jagger's team won the state championship this past season.
DenisGScott Posted November 8, 2006 Report Posted November 8, 2006 still sad we have no youth hockey here though
hockeyfan Posted November 8, 2006 Author Report Posted November 8, 2006 I agree. There are a lot of kids around here who want to play, but have to go to Houston to do so. It's either that, or go to mid-county and play in-line hockey. :?
^Gusher Fan^ Posted November 8, 2006 Report Posted November 8, 2006 Hey Guys, http://www.goldentriangleicehockey.com/ Dan has really been working hard on this. He's trying his best to make it work!
hockeyfan Posted November 8, 2006 Author Report Posted November 8, 2006 I know about that site, but it hasn't been updated since last year. It still shows that the deadline for signing up is October 15, 2005. :?
^Gusher Fan^ Posted November 8, 2006 Report Posted November 8, 2006 Oops! I haven't actually looked at it in quite a while :oops: But, I do know that Dan has been working to get things moving. If people will bombard him with calls, he might at least be able to answer some questions :!: :?: I know he was also working on getting a new webmaster/site. Should be up sometime soon, I hope. Sorry, I was trying to be helpful! :oops:
hockeyfan Posted November 8, 2006 Author Report Posted November 8, 2006 I know that it takes time to get things started again, since we went a year without a team. And thanks for the link, it is helpful.
