Just so it's clear and nobody gets the wrong idea, the SuperSailor weekly award is not all about points... but scoring 34 points in 14 games to start the season certainly doesn't hurt your case. 

 

In the first week of Season 94, the Halifax 21st have jumped out to a 12-2-0 record with huge contributions from every player up and down the lineup.  It's truly been a team affair to start the season with seven of the team's nine skaters above a point-per-game and every skater on the roster at or above a +/- rating of +10.  Both goalies have been stellar as well.  Second season starter, Jon Webber III, holds an 8-2-0 start record with a .911 SV% and a 1.69 GAA, good for second in the league behind the 21st's own Lane Ellis who has a perfect win record in 4 starts, a .921 SV%, and a 1.25 GAA.  Webber sits tied for the league lead with 3 shutouts in his 10 starts, while Ellis has 1 shutout to his name in 4 games.  With a +40 goal differential through 14 games, the 21st lead the league by some margin in that respect while sitting 1st in the Eastern Conference and 2nd overall.  So yes, while the SuperSailor award recognizes an individual, nobody carries a team on their own and the whole Halifax squad has been on fire to start the season!

 

With 34 points in 14 games, though, and leading the team in scoring by 9 points, Robin Sierra has been lights out!  Sierra's 18 goals and 34 points are good for 1st in the VHLM, and 16 assists is good for 4th overall.  But Sierra's contributions go beyond the sims.  This past week, @ethanjaeda also created a jersey set to commemorate Pride Month and posted them in the jersey channel of the 21st server.  Not only that, they also created the amazing Pride colored version of the Halifax 21st logo at the top of this post! 

 

In their second season in Halifax, Ethan has been a consistent earner ever since their player was signed as a free agent, going undrafted in S93.  Ethan has also been a regular contributor in the locker room-- especially in a creative way as they have a special talent for graphics.  When I chat with Ethan every week, they're always so prompt to respond and enthusiastic to continue building and contributing to the team.  That their player is leading the league after the first week of the season is a well deserved reward for all their effort and positivity over the past season and I can't wait to see what Robin Sierra can do the rest of the way!

 

Congratulations to Robin Sierra on an incredible week and being named the first SuperSailor of Season 94!
