Forward: Braxton Powers, Islanders Hockey Club

Third-year Islander and former 18U IHC player Powers (‘04/Raleigh, N.C.) is enjoying a point-per-game pace for the 6-0-2-0 Islanders as they come off a second straight sweep of a three-game showcase, most recently at the Hitmen Classic. He posted a pair of goals, including the GWG on Sunday vs. the Mercer Chiefs plus two assists in that game. He also had two more assists over the weekend for a 2-4-6 total line at the event. He has improved to eight points in eight games. 

Goaltender: Frank Murphy, Islanders Hockey Club 

The former USPHL Premier All-Star continues to be a #USPHLAdvancement success story, as he leads the NCDC early on in wins, with a 5-0-1-0 record, one year after leading the Premier in wins (25, with Toledo). At the Hitmen Classic, Murphy (‘04/Mississauga, Ont.) stopped 66 out of 68 shots, went 2-0 and finished with a 1.00 GAA and .971 for the trip to Jersey.
