Player of the Week
Danny Heatley
Thru the first week of the season Heatley leads the CPHL in goals, points, shots on goal and +/-. Heatley posted goals in all of the Oilers games totalling 5 goals, 4 assists, and 9 points and a +7 rating. The Oilers won all 4 games and one of those wins featured a shootout winner by Heatley. He was spectacular and clearly the CPHL's top performer in the first 7 days.
Defenceman of the week
Sergei Gonchar
We don't expect him to win since Heatley will. But he had 5 assists and is +6 on the week for the Oilers. He's a modest guy, look at his wife, hardly a bomb shell. His down to earth demeanor is something lacking in todays egotistic flamboyant Russian player, a true good guy.
