New York Titans goaltender Matt Vinc was named Defensive Player of the Week. Vinc stopped 50 out of 59 shots faced in the Titans' 11-9 win at Buffalo last weekend that moved New York into a tie for second place in the East Division.

Brodie Merrill was named the Transition Player of the Week. In two games against San Jose last weekend, Merrill fueled Portland's transition game with three goals and seven assists while picking up 24 loose balls. The LumberJax split the weekend series with the Stealth.

Rhys Duch was named Rookie of the Week. The San Jose forward scored five goals and tallied seven assists in two games against the Portland LumberJax this past weekend. Duch now has 70 points on the season (24 Goals, 46 Assists), and is within 12 points of the league record for points in a rookie season. The record is held by Gavin Prout, who had an 82-point season in his rookie year of 2002.
