This weekly award recognizes the top-performing players from each of the league’s six divisions, as nominated by their head coaches, for their outstanding contributions on the ice.
Central Division Star of the Week: Adam Sexton, Forward, West Bend Power
Adam Sexton had a standout weekend, earning him a Star of the Week award. With the West Bend Power sitting at the top of the Central division, Sexton has been a big factor in this team’s success. He leads his team in goals scored and points recorded this season. He had a ten point weekend in a two game series against the Fox Cities Forge, showing his undeniable skill for finding scoring opportunities. On Friday, he had four points consisting of two goals and two assists. He didn’t slow down from there, however, as he would go on to find a way to get six more points on the scoreboard in the form of four goals and two assists.
Jason Woods, head coach of the Power, highlighted some of Sexton’s recent accomplishments that lead to him being named Captain of the Power.
"Adam continues to show the growth his hard work in the offseason produced. He has come into this season a changed player with more detailed expectations. He is not only putting up points, but his leadership has carried our group. Last week he was named captain for the season but his approach and expectations for himself and the team remain the same!"

“Fields is a guy with all sorts of offensive upsides. He’s quickly learning that playing the right way without the puck will lead to more opportunities with the puck. It’s been fun to witness the transition and see him gain confidence and chemistry with his line mates. The best part is he’s just starting to heat up!”
