Zbriger makes all-rookie team
Bloomington PrairieThunder forward Mike Zbriger, who tied for first among United Hockey League rookies with 29 goals, was named Monday to the league’s all-rookie team. Zbriger ranked third among first-year players in points scored with 57 (29 goals, 28 assists) in 77 games, with 38 of those coming in 44 games with the Thunder. The 25-year-old Montreal native came to the PrairieThunder in a trade with Flint on Jan. 3 after starting the season in Chicago. His combined season-point total of 57 was the highest among PrairieThunder players and tied for 25th overall in the UHL. “Mike deserves to be on the team,” PrairieThunder coach Derek Booth said. “It’s important for rookies to contribute in this league and Mike came aboard and did that for us.” Zbriger was joined on the all-rookie team by goaltender Ryan Nie of Kalamazoo; defenseman Luke Fritshaw of Rockford; and the Quad City trio of defenseman Dale Lupul and forwards Brett Pilkington and Justin Chwedoruk. UHL all-starts Regular-season points leader Fort Wayne put three players on the United Hockey League all-star team announced Tuesday. In voting by league head coaches, general managers, and members of the media, the Komets were represented on the first team by goaltender Kevin St. Pierre, defenseman Guy Dupuis and forward J.C. Ruid. Rounding out the first team were defenseman Philippe Plante of Muskegon and forwards Todd Robinson of Muskegon and Kory Karlander of Kalamazoo. The second team included goaltender Frederic Cloutier of Rockford; defensemen Mario Larocque of Fort Wayne and Chris Busby of Chicago; and forwards Nick Bootland of Kalamazoo, Preston Mizzi of Rockford and Mike Watt of Muskegon.
