Press Release
Toronto, ON – The Ontario Hockey League today announced that forward
Ryan Kujawinski of the Kingston Frontenacs is the OHL Player of the Week
for the week ending September 30 after recording five points in two
games scoring twice with three assists and a plus-minus rating of
plus-2.
Kujawinski helped lift the Frontenacs to a pair of victories over the
weekend beginning Friday night where he picked up three assists as
second star when the club erased a 5-3 third period deficit to comeback
and beat the Erie Otters 6-5 in overtime. On Sunday afternoon he
received first star honours with two goals in a 5-4 win over the Niagara
IceDogs giving the Frontenacs their best start to a season since
1997-98 with a perfect 3-0-0-0 record as the only undefeated team
remaining in the OHL.
Kujawinski, a 17-year-old from Iroqouis Falls, ON, is playing in his
second OHL season. Eligible for the 2013 NHL Entry Draft, Kujawinski
was a first round pick of the Sarnia Sting in the 2011 OHL Priority
Selection but finished his rookie campaign with the Frontenacs where he
scored 15 goals and 15 assists for 30 points in 30 games.
Also considered for the award this week was Columbus Blue Jackets
prospect Boone Jenner of the Oshawa Generals who scored four goals and
four assists for eight points in three games, and Montreal Canadiens
prospect Brady Vail of the Windsor Spitfires who picked up three goals
and four assists for seven points in three games. In goal, Detroit Red
Wings prospect Jake Paterson of the Saginaw Spirit posted a 1-0-1-0
record including a shutout victory with a goals-against-average of 1.46
and save percentage of .955.
