DarkSpyro 973 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Last week I wanted to reveal what the Malmo Nighthawks jerseys for S92 are- but in doing so I failed to write about a small milestone that my goalie, Ash Sparks, achieved last week on January 16th. The 15th game for the Malmo Nighthawks S92 campaign was not only a great game vs the Helsinki Titans, it would also be a once-in-a-lifetime moment for all in attendance and for a certain member of the Nighthawks franchise. In an incredibly tight battle where the Nighthawks would claim a 2-1 victory over the Titans, Nighthawks goaltender Ash Sparks stood tall and saved 24/25 shots (0.960 save%) to earn his 8th win (8-3-2) in his 13th appearance of the season for the Nighthawks. Entering into this game, he played 199 regular season games as the Nighthawks starting netminder and had 99 wins in that span. This Victory would give him his 100th win after his 200th game as a Malmo Nighthawk- making him the 5th goalie to ever reach this milestone for the Nighthawks, and the fastest to ever do so. At the time of writing this article; Ash Sparks currently holds a 102-76-25 career record with the Malmo Nighthawks since being traded over from the Seattle Bears in S89. His regular season career so far has been impressive- boasting a 0.926 save%, and 15 shutouts puts him 2nd all-time in Nighthawks history for both at the current moment, and his 2.47 GAA is #1 all-time in franchise history!

Pifferfish 596 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 @DarkSpyro My biggest regret with Lampi was not following you to Malmo. LA has been awesome but we could be doing real damage together right now! You were always a solid teammate and made my early VHL experience awesome.... Will be joining forces soon I'm sure DarkSpyro 1 Link to comment https://vhlforum.com/topic/144566-ash-sparks-makes-nighthawks-history-with-100th-win-in-200-games/#findComment-1013166 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be joining forces soon I'm sure Mannn I totally agree!! Playing on the same team was such a blast!! It woulda been sweet to be on either the Nighthawks or Stars together for sure- but we are both still killing it this season! I also remember having you on for a podcast which was also really fun! I’d definitely be up for another 1 of those any time in the future if you’re down Pifferfish 1 Link to comment https://vhlforum.com/topic/144566-ash-sparks-makes-nighthawks-history-with-100th-win-in-200-games/#findComment-1013186 Share on other sites More sharing options...
