We're pleased to announce that Russell Shengulette (Northern Cyclones), Dylan Clare (New York Applecore), and Quinn Fahey (New England Wolves) have been named the EHL Stars of the Week.
Also, this week's 19U Elite Team of the Week is the New England Wolves, with an Honorable Mention going to the Northern Cyclones.

Next week's 19U Elite Stars of the Week will be announced on Tuesday, November 8th at 8:00am.
Shengulette and the Cyclones swept their weekend road trip, and improved their overall record to 9-7-0 for the season (18 points). The Cyclones currently sit in sole possession of 4th place in the North Conference, just 5 points back of the 1st place Vermont Lumberjacks.
The Cyclones' leading scorer scored the game-winning goal in both games this past weekend. Shengulette now has 19 points in 15 games this season, and 6 points in his last 5 games. The 98' forward from North Carolina will look to help his team make it 3 in a row when they hit the ice next on Sunday against the Boston Jr. Rangers.
Clare and the Applecore won their only game this past weekend on Sunday night against the Brewster Bulldogs. This was New York's first game in 14 days and they responded like a well-rested team should.
After a tough start to the season, Clare stood on his head on the way to picking up his first win of the season. The Applecore hit the road next weekend for a pair of matchups with the first place Philadelphia Revolution.
Fahey and the Wolves picked up 5 of 6 points this past weekend, improving their overall record to 6-5-1 (13 points). The Wolves have been playing well lately, going 3-1-1 (7 points) in their last 5 games.
Fahey's six-point weekend moved him into top spot on his team in scoring. The 2000-born forward from Georgia has 8 points in his last 4 games. Fahey will look to continue to lead his team this weekend when they play a home-and-home series with the Vermont Lumberjacks.
This week's 19U Elite Team of the Week is the New England Wolves.
The Wolves picked up 5 of 6 points this past weekend, improving their overall record to 6-5-1 (13 points).
While the Wolves currently sit in 7th place in the North Conference, they've also only played 12 games this season (2nd fewest in the conference). With a handful of games in hand and a home-and-home series scheduled for this weekend with the Vermont Lumberjacks (1st place), the Wolves will look to make their move in the standings.
This week's Honorable Mention goes out to the Northern Cyclones.
The Cyclones have had an up and down season for the first 16 games of the year, compiling an overall record of 9-7-0 (18 points). This past weekend was a solid step forward with a two-game road sweep.
The Cyclones will look to make it 3 in a row when they hit the ice next on Sunday against the Boston Jr. Rangers.
