Top 3 NIHL Players of Week 18

1. Duncan Speirs 

It was a great weekend for the Peterborough Phantoms and Duncan Speirs as he helped his team to a four-point weekend. He returned back to his home country to face the Solway Sharks and across the weekend in the double header, he scored two goals and assisted a further two. With many absences from the Phantoms team, Duncan really stepped up and contribute to come big goals. 

2. Noah McMullin

The Canadian defensemen has had a fantastic season so far with the Leeds Knights and this was one of his best yet! The Knights only conceded one goal across the two games and Noah also scored twice on the Saturday in Bristol. Then on Sunday got another assists in the Knights 6-1 victory at home. The Knights have conceded the least amount of goals in the NIHL and McMullin is a huge part of that.

3. Ralfs Circenis

Since joining the Berkshire Bees, Ralfs has had a big impact on the team and this Sunday was another big game from him. After beating Leeds the week before the Bees had another tough matchup at home against the Lightning but the team secured a big 4-2 victory with Ralfs scoring the goal to tie it up at 2-2. He then assisted in the game winning goal and had a three point night. He has really helped with scoring since joining the Bees.
