New England Division
(Summaries by Britt Hart)
Forward: Lode Arts, New Hampshire Jr Monarchs
Despite coming up short against the Islanders Hockey Club and Twin City Thunder, Lode Arts (‘04/Amsterdam, Netherlands) was able to create offensive success for the Jr. Monarchs over the course of these two games. He started off scoring the lone goal for Monarchs during the eventual 5-1 loss to IHC, before having his best game to date against Twin City. During the contest with Twin City, Arts was able to net one goal and tally three assists for a four-point game.
Defense: Damon Bossie, Twin City Thunder
Bossie (’04/Lewiston, Maine) and the Twin City Thunder swept their first two games of the month over the South Shore Kings and the New Hampshire Jr Monarchs. The ’04 defenseman was able to extend this personal point streak to five games as he was able to net one goal against the Kings before tallying an additional goal and assist against the Monarchs. With 15 points in 14 games, Bossie currently leads all Thunder defensemen in scoring.
Goaltender: Ben Zaranek, Springfield Pics
Zaranek (’03/Springfield, Mass.) and the Pics picked up an enormous 4-1 win over their divisional rivals, the Boston Junior Bruins on Saturday.

In addition to standing tall and bringing his yearly save percentage to .939 (same as last year’s when he went 12-5-1-0), the netminder was able to tally an assist on the Pics final goal of the game.
