Players of the Week - April 19, 2016

April 19, 2016 -

The Players of the Week awards winners this week are both senior leaders on their teams at Pittsford and Brighton.

Offensive Player of the Week
Jonathan Perotto

Pittsford senior attackman Jonathan Perotto added 3g-2a in a game with Duxbury last week that Pittsford won 6-5. His final goal, with 0:14 left in the third quarter, gave the Panthers the win against one of the strongest teams in New England.

Pittsford Head Coach, Andrew Whipple says: "Jon has worked extremely hard this past off season to develop his whole game. Not only do I feel he has one of the best shots in the whole section but he has now become a very dangerous passer and dodger."

In his third year on the Panther Varsity his career record is currently 108g-52a. Jon made an early verbal commitment to the University of Vermont and signed his letter of intent last fall.

Defensive Player of the Week
Parker Lawrence

Brighton won a hard fought contest against Webster Thomas last week and the Baron offense certainly helped make that happen, but so did the defensive skills of senior defenseman Parker Lawrence. A three year varsity long-stick and close defenseman, Parker had three take aways and five ground balls, but his impact was all over the field.

Assistant Coach Jody Rose says: "He is very effective when you need him most. He has been asked to do many different things for his team and always answers the bell. Team first is how he plays the game. He makes the players around him better. He will take a few balls away per game but his real strength is the ground balls and possessions he creates. He is a great player with great attitude.
