East Division Star of the Week: Aidan Palmeter, Forward, New Hampshire Jr. Mountain Kings
Aidan Palmeter and the New Hampshire Jr. Mountain Kings picked up four out of a possible six points towards the standings with a pair of wins over the Maine Nordiques after coming up just short against the Northeast Generals. Despite falling to Northeast, the Manchester, NH native was still able to make his way onto the scoresheet, scoring one power play goal in addition to assisting New Hampshire’s first goal of the game. During the teams’ series with Maine, Palmeter recorded an assist during game one before his breakout game of the week during their second tilt with the Nords. Sunday’s game was quite the thriller as Palmeter jump started New Hampshire’s comeback, scoring the first goal for his squad after entering the second period down 2-0. The ‘05 forward would be the hero of the game, cashing out with just over a minute and half remaining in overtime, ending the weekend on a high note.
“Aidan is a silent leader. We were on a 3 game skid after Wednesday’s loss and Aidan put the team on his back and led the way for us to take 4 huge points against a good Nordiques team,” stated Mountain Kings Head Coach Clint Cassavaugh
