The North American 3 Hockey League (NA3HL) is pleased to announce the Divisional Stars of the Week for the week ending January 25th, sponsored by Bethel University. This weekly award recognizes the top-performing players from each of the league’s six divisions, as nominated by their head coaches, for their outstanding contributions on the ice.
Central Division Star of the Week: Jackson Schroeder, Forward, Wausau Cyclones
In their final regular-season meetings with the Woodsmen, the Cyclones stayed in control and pushed their season series record to 7-1. Wausau’s leading scorer, Jackson Schroeder, continued to make his mark, earning Star of the Week honors for the third time this season.
Game one was an offensive showcase for the Clones as they rolled to a 9-2 victory. The ’07 rookie delivered his best performance of the season, putting on a monster night with two goals and three assists for a five point outing. Two of those points came on the man advantage, as Schroeder stayed dangerous every time he touched the puck.
Game two brought the drama, ending in a tight 3-2 thriller that had fans on the edge of their seats. The Cyclones struck first when Schroeder set up Jackson Maddock, but the Woodsmen answered on the power play moments later. Schroeder wasted no time responding, cashing in to give Wausau a 2–1 lead at the break and tilt the momentum back in Cyclones’ favor.
The weekend performance reflected more than just points, as Head Coach Nathan Oystrick explained: “Jackson had another great weekend for us in Wausau. He continues to lead our team in scoring while getting better in all three zones which has opened up more scoring opportunities for him and his linemates. The buy-in on the defensive side of the puck has elevated his game to another level and it paid off with 7 points in 2 games.”
