Dominick Sacco New York Aviators

The addition of veteran forward Dominick Sacco has paid immediate dividends for the New York Aviators. The 20-year-old native of Brooklyn, New York, joinded the Aviators after the New Year and has totally dominant in the NA3EHL. Having played the better part of the previous four seasons in the USHL, where he appeared in 161 career games and recorded 63 career points, Sacco (5’9/160) has instantly made the Aviators contenders as evidenced by his 21 points in just six games in January. Sacco recorded multi-point games in all six outings and had 12 goals, 9 assists and a +20 rating. He was named the West Division Star of the Week on January 19 ^th and two five-point games. “We are very proud of the impact that Dominick has made since he joined our team. He is not only a great player on the ice, he is an outstanding teammate. He is the type of player that puts his team ahead of his own personal success,” said Aviators head coach Mike Stanaway.

Eric Szeker Cape Cod Islanders

Thanks to a 7-1 record in the month of January, the Cape Cod Islanders have taken control of the East Division and appear to be on their way to a regular season title. Defenseman Eriz Szeker was a big contributor as the native of Allentown, New Jersey had 14 points (6 goals, 8 assists) in the month of January. Szeker (6’1/195) also had a memorable month because of his NCAA commitment to St. Olaf College. The 20-year-old Szeker recorded a point in all eight games in January as enters February riding an 11-game point streak. He also played on the NA3EHL East Division prospects team that played at the NA3HL Showcase in December. “Eric had an excellent month of January. In addition to committing to St. Olaf College (NCAA DIII), he is currently riding an 11-game point streak. His offensive capabilities combined with his hockey IQ and strong defensive play make him a force on the ice. Eric is a natural leader who sets the tone for our entire program. In the words of Dan Hodge, Eric has set the standard that all future Islanders will be evaluated by,” said Islanders head coach Jay Punsky.

Steven Schmitt Cape Cod Islanders

The addition of goalie Steven Schmitt, 19, to an already deep Cape Cod goaltending line-up is another reason the team is in 1 ^st place in the East Division. The native of Providence, Rhode Island began the season playing in the NA3HL with the Wooster Oilers, but after the New Year, joined the Islanders and had a tremendous month of January. Schmitt (6’2/220) posted a perfect 3-0 record in January, facing 87 shots and allowing just four goals in the three games. That included a 24-save shutout of Northeast on January 22 ^nd and 42 saves in a 5-3 win over Lockport at the NA3EHL Showcase on January 29 ^th . “Steven joined the team after the Christmas break and has been a tremendous addition to our goaltending staff. In three games played he has posted 3 wins with one shutout. Steven is a big, technically sound butterfly goaltender. We are lucky to have a group of goalies who give us a chance to win on any given night,” said Islanders head coach Jay Punsky.
