The North American Hockey League (NAHL) today announced the Divisional Stars of the Week presented by Bauer Hockey for the week ending October 22, 2017.  The Bauer Hockey Divisional Stars of the Week is a weekly feature during the 2017-18 regular season that honors the top performing players in each of the four NAHL divisions. Only players that are nominated by their respective teams are considered for the Divisional Players of the Week award.

 

Central Division Star of the Week: Ryan Ullan, goaltender, Bismarck Bobcats

It was a perfect three-win week for the 1st place Bismarck Bobcats, who extended their winning streak to six straight games. In goal for two of the three wins was 17-year-old rookie netminder Ryan Ullan. The 6’2/189 lbs. native of Hibbing, Minnesota, won both of his starts and in the process stopped 55 of a possible 57 shots in the process, giving up just a single goal in each of the wins. On Thursday, Ullan made 24 saves in a 4-1 road win in Minot and the next night, he made 31 saves in a 3-1 road win in Brookings. For the season, Ullan has a 5-3-0 record with a 2.12 goals against average and a 93.0% save percentage. “Ryan has been a huge part of our success this year. He is technically sound, tall and athletic, and is going to be an elite goaltender in this league. Those are the reasons I believe he has a chance to get drafted in the National Hockey League,” said Bismark head coach Layne Sedevie.
