Another local hero this week was Daniel Chartrand. The Dauphin product had three goals and three assists for the Kings. All of those six points came in the final three games of the week and two of the three were multi point efforts.
With the sudden surge in Chartrand’s game the forward is now third on the Kings in scoring with 23 points (9G, 14A).
Chartrand has points in 10 of his last 14 games played and should be a consideration for player of the week in the MJHL.
DAUPHIN, MB – The Dauphin Kings are officially into their Christmas break, and the club is into it on a high following two straight wins this past weekend.
The week didn’t start off great for Dauphin after two losses at the MJHL’s Showcase in Winnipeg, but the club battled and came away with a key four points when it comes to the race for the playoffs.
With victories over Virden (4-3) and Selkirk (3-2) late in the week the Kings are just two points behind the Swan Valley Stampeders who occupy the final playoff spot in the MJHL right now. Swan Valley is in action on Tuesday this week.
Dauphin will have about two weeks off before their next game action. The first game back after the Christmas break will take place on Tuesday January 3rd when they head to Winkler to play the Flyers. The Kings’ next home game is Saturday January 7th when they tangle with the Swan Valley Stampeders.
Merry Christmas from the Dauphin Kings!
