CHECKERS PRESS RELEASE
JAMIESON NAMED IN GLAS CO ECHL PLAYER OF THE WEEK
PRINCETON, NJ. - Dusty Jamieson of the Charlotte Checkers is the In Glas Co ECHL Player of the Week for Oct. 20-22, 2006.
Jamieson scored a hat trick in each of Charlotte's first two games and he leads the ECHL with six goals and four power-play goals while his seven points tie him for second in the league scoring race.
The 25-year-old had three goals, including two power-play goals, as the Checkers beat Wheeling 10-3 in the season opener on Oct. 20. He scored three goals, including the game winner on a power play, again on Oct. 21 as the Checkers posted a 5-3 win against Wheeling.
The league record for consecutive games with three goals or more is three games. Brian Martin of Hampton Roads became the first player in professional hockey to register three goals or more in three straight games when he accomplished the feat in 1989 on Dec. 9 against Nashville, Dec. 10 against Virginia and Dec. 12 against Knoxville. The record has been tied by Trent Kaese of Columbus in 1992, Darryl Noren of Charlotte in 1994 and Steve Gibson of Wheeling in 1997.
Selected in the fifth round (136th overall) by the Montreal Canadiens in the 1999 National Hockey League Entry Draft, Jamieson has led Charlotte in goal scoring each of the past three seasons, including 30 goals last season and 31 goals in 2004-05. His 118 career goals rank him second to Noren, who scored 174 goals in a Checkers sweater.
Jamieson has played for the Checkers in each of his first five professional seasons and has 212 points (118g-94a) in 229 regular season games and 13 points (4g-9a) in 18 games in the Kelly Cup Playoffs. He has also played in the American Hockey League where he has one assist in 10 games with Binghamton and Hartford.
On behalf of Dusty Jamieson, a case of pucks will be donated to a Charlotte, N.C. area youth hockey organization by In Glas Co, the exclusive puck supplier for the ECHL. Since beginning its sponsorship of the award in 2000-01, In Glas Co has donated more than 15,000 pucks to youth hockey organizations in ECHL cities.
Runners Up: Brad Schell, Gwinnett (2 gp, 2g, 5a, 7 pts) and Jake Ortmeyer, Phoenix (3 gp, 3g, 2a, 5 pts).
Also Nominated: Kevin Croxton (Alaska), Ryan Lang (Augusta), Alexandre Bolduc (Bakersfield), Scott Reynolds (Cincinnati), Anthony Battaglia (Columbia), Brad Parsons (Florida), Rob McFeeters (Fresno), Charlie Johnson (Idaho), Jean Desrochers (Johnstown), Steve Crampton (Las Vegas), Chris Collins (Long Beach), Arpad Mihaly (Reading), Tim O’Connell (Stockton), Kevin Baker (Texas), Jamie Tardif (Toledo), Troy Riddle (Trenton), Mike Wirll (Utah) and Kiel McLeod (Victoria).
