NA3HL announces Stars of the Week presented by Bauer Hockey
The North American 3 Hockey League (NA3HL) today announced the Divisional Stars of the Week presented by Bauer Hockey for the week ending September 12, 2021. The divisional stars of the week are awards given each week of the regular season to the top-performing players in each of the five divisions of the NA3HL as nominated by their head coaches.
Central Division Star of the Week: Connor O’Neal, F, Milwaukee Power
O’Neal paced the Power’s hot start last week, notching five points in two games as his team swept St. Louis. The 2003-born sniper scored once and assisted a teammate on Friday, then put up another goal and two more helpers on Saturday. O’Neal’s five points rank tied for fifth among NA3HL skaters after week one.

Frontier Division Star of the Week: Saizha Norwegian, F, Gillette Wild
Norwegian made his NA3HL debut in style for Gillette last week, with five points across a pair of wins over Badlands. The 2002-born forward lit up the scoresheet with a pair of assists before scoring the game-winning goal on Friday, then nabbed another two tallies — including another game-deciding goal — in Saturday’s rematch victory. Norwegian boasts five points on the year, good for a share of fifth among all NA3HL skaters through the first week of action.
