Top Performers
Drew Sutton - ‘03 Forward - Oklahoma Warriors
Commit : Union College
After having a successful first year in the NAHL accumulating 64 points in 60 games, Sutton got his playoff season off to a great start scoring 3 goals and 1 assist. His skating was hard to match up against as he has the ability to beat defenders to the edge one on one and in small areas, he has the edge work to change direction quickly. Sutton is a big piece of the Warriors attack and will be a featured player this post season.
Cole Teleki - ‘02 Defenseman - Oklahoma Warriors
Commit : Lindenwood
Teleki has come a long way in his defensive game as he uses his skating ability to take away time and space. His physical play allows him to win battles in the corners and along the wall. In the net front he is hard to play against and does a nice job of clearing sight lines for his goaltender. He sees the ice well on his first pass and he can get involved offensively, he contributed two assists this weekend.

Top Performers
Antti Autere - ‘04 Defenseman - Lone Star Brahmas
TSA Athlete
The hero of game 1 as he netted the overtime goal for the Brahmas, Autere has been a pivotal piece to the Lone Star blueline. The smooth skater has demonstrated confidence with the puck on his stick and has no issues distributing the puck or getting shots on net. Drastically improving on the defensive side of the puck this season, he has shown the ability to defend at a high level early on in the series.
Ivan Zadvernyuk - ‘04 Forward - Lone Star Brahmas
An impressive weekend for the power forward, Zadvernyuk netted himself two goals in Game 2 of the series. He was consistently around the puck and showed the willingness to fire pucks on net regularly. Using his 6'2 frame, Zadvernyuk protects the puck well in tight areas using his reach to extend the puck away from his body. His skating has started to improve and he looks like a player starting to peak.
Garrett Steele - ‘02 Forward - Shreveport Mudbugs
The hard nose forward had an excellent weekend as he found the scoresheet in game 2 as he netted a goal. His game was very mature and he looked like a player who has over 200 NAHL games played in his career. He was consistently around the puck and every shift he played hard with high energy. He is a player to watch as the series progresses as he has the potential to be a game changer.
