Duluth, Minn.: The Superior International Hockey League has announced that Duluth Clydesdales forward Tom Paine has been named its player of the week for the week ending September 26.

On Friday, Paine scored twice and added an assist in 4-1 win over the Dryden (Ont.) Ice Dogs. The next night, Paine added a goal in a 2-0 shutout of Sioux Lookout (Ont.).

Paine has four goals and five points in five games so far this year.

“I’m very happy for Tom to have received this honor from our league,” said Head Coach and General Manager Butch Williams. “He was a big part of our team picking up our first wins of the year and he truly deserves this honor.”
