ROYALS’ ALEX GOGOLEV NAMED DENNY’S WHL PLAYER OF THE WEEK
Veteran sniper notches 12 points in four games.
For Immediate Release
Monday, January 21, 2013
Victoria, BC – The
Western Hockey League today announced that Victoria Royals’ forward Alex
Gogolev has been named the Denny’s WHL Player of the Week.
Gogolev, a 20-year-old Moscow native, recorded 12
points (3g-9a) over the Royals’ four games last week to go along with four
penalty minutes and a plus-two rating on his way to the honour. Gogolev becomes
the first player in Victoria Royals team history to receive the Denny’s WHL
Player of the Week award. Most recently, Gogolev recorded four points (1g-3a)
in the Royals’ 5-4 win against the Kamloops Blazers on January 19th.
The Russian forward is currently enjoying the most
productive month of his WHL career and has notched 19 points (3g-16a) through
nine January games so far. His team-leading 55 points (16g-39a) in 42 games
played place Gogolev 15th overall in WHL scoring.
Drafted by the Calgary Hitmen in the second round, 63rd
overall, of the 2011 CHL Import Draft, the Royals acquired the left winger last
September in a trade that sent forward Zane Jones to Calgary. Gogolev sits just
two points shy of the 57 points (25g-32a) he posted last season with the
Hitmen.
