Prince George Spruce Kings goaltender Logan Neaton has been named the BCHL Player of the Week for the week ending Apr. 28, the league announced Monday.
The 20-year-old faced 102 shots over the first three games of the Spruce Kings’ Doyle Cup series against the Brooks Bandits, stopping 95 of them for a .931 save percentage, a 2.36 goals-against average and one shutout.
In Game 1, Neaton was the difference as Prince George held on to an early lead, making 30 saves for a 2-0 shutout win and a first-star honour. The next night in Game 2, the Brighton, Mich. native faced a barrage of shots, including 22 in the first period alone. He ended up making 38 saves in a 3-1 loss, but was named the game’s third star. Game 3 saw him make 27 saves in a 4-0 loss.
During PG’s run to the Fred Page Cup, Neaton led the BCHL playoffs with a .940 save percentage, a 1.46 goals-against average and two shutouts.
After playing the first three games in Brooks, the Doyle Cup series now shifts back to Prince George for the remainder of the schedule.
