Against the Elmira Jr. Enforcers, defenseman Anthony Crescimanni (’05/Syosset, N.Y.) registered two goals helping P.A.L. Jr. Islanders to get their shut out 5-0 win against the Jr. Enforcers. He has 17 points in 32 games this season.

North Division
Forward: Jake Fore, Springfield Pics
Fore (‘05/Wake Forest, N.C.) put up two goals and two assists in the Pics’ split weekend that saw a 10-5 win over the Junior Bruins and a loss to the league-leading Northern Cyclones (via winning percentage). Fore has 14 points through 27 games in this, his second Elite season.
Defense: Thatcher Berman, Springfield Pics
Berman (‘06/Blandford, Mass.) equaled his teammate Fore’s output, putting up a 2-2-4 line over the weekend to help the Pics continue in their fight for the fourth and final playoff spot in the North Division. Berman came up through the Pics’ USPHL 15U and 16U squads before becoming an anchor to the defense.
Goaltender: Anthony LaCroix, Islanders Hockey Club
LaCroix could probably have only shut out the Northern Cyclones and earned this spot this week, given how strong the Islanders’ regional rivals have been this year. He stopped all 31 shots against the Cyclones on Feb. 13. Also on the week, he defeated the Bridgewater Bandits and Boston Junior Bruins, taking the latter win in relief. In total, he stopped 59 of 61 shots.
