CHL Press Release
Toronto – The Canadian Hockey League announced today that Vancouver Giants goaltender Dustin Slade is the ADT CHL Goaltender of the Week for the week ending Sunday April 30 after helping the Giants win the WHL Western Conference finals and move on to face the Moose Jaw Warriors in the WHL Championship finals.
Slade, a native of Penticton, British Columbia picked up a pair of shutout wins last week to help him go the entire week without allowing a single goal while posting 60 saves. In Game 3 Slade recorded 32 saves in a 5-0 shutout road win over the Everett Silvertips. In Game 4 Slade made 28 saves in another 5-0 shutout road win to eliminate the Silvertips and advance the Giants to the WHL Championship series for the first time in franchise history. This was the third time that Slade earned the honour this season, the only goaltender to do so.
Each week the CHL recognizes the ADT CHL Goaltender of the Week and will present the ADT CHL Goaltender of the Year Award to the CHL’s top netminder at the conclusion of the 2005-06 season.
