Halifax 21st SuperSailor (S93-Week 1): Alexandr Novotny

[LucyXpher 554]

Through 16 games of the regular season so far, Alexandr Novotny leads all Halifax defenders with 14 points, tied for 2nd overall on the Halifax 21st.  Drafted 12th overall in this past off-season's redispersal draft, the 6'0", 190 pound rear guard from Czechia has been a stabilizing presence both on the ice for the 21st and in the locker room.  Playing in all situations, Novotny has demonstrated a balance of strong offensive instincts and defensive sensibility.  He is a strong skater and distributor of the puck who has found teammates to score on 13 occasions so far this season. 

 

Off the ice, Novotny has been one of team's most disciplined and hard working players.  As an assistant captain on the team, he has led by example, training as much as possible off the ice and improving rapidly every week.  In the locker room, Novotny is known to be engaged in the life of the team, driving conversation, sharing music, and being a source of positivity for teammates and coaches alike.  

 

Starting this season, the Halifax 21st have begun a new tradition of honoring a player each week who has exhibited excellence both on and off the ice.  This player will have shown an ability to compete and help the team with on-ice contributions, but also leading teammates off the ice through hard work and positivity in the locker room.  The first recipient of this new award, the Halifax 21st SuperSailor, is Alexandr Novotny @Patrik Tallinder for his exceptional leadership and contribution to the team throughout the first week of the season.  

 

A new recipient of this award will be named every Wednesday while the team is actively playing regular season or playoff games.
