Texas Roadrunners Captain Joey Izzo named player of the week.
Southeast Division Star of the Week: Joey Izzo , Forward, Texas RoadRunners
Joey Izzo and the Texas RoadRunners continued their hot streak, earning a clean three-game sweep over the Bayou State Rougarou. The second-year forward has gotten off to a strong start in his final junior hockey season, ranking as the team’s second-leading scorer and among the top five scorers in the league.
Over the weekend, the Chicago, IL native continued to light up the scoresheet, totaling 11 points (4 goals, 7 assists). Izzo found the back of the net in all three games, extending his goal streak to seven consecutive contests.
His best performance of the weekend came during Sunday’s 11-1 victory. After falling behind 1-0 in the first period, Texas cranked up the heat in the second, with Izzo playing a major role in the offensive surge. He contributed one goal and three assists, including two on the power play, sparking the team’s attack. He carried that momentum into the final period, adding another power-play goal and a shorthanded assist for a six-point game, thriving on special teams.
After another dominant weekend, Head Coach Mike Beavis spoke about the qualities that make him a key contributor: “Joey has been a workhorse all season long and as one of our captains he has stepped up when needed. He is a good two way forward and we depend on him each night.”
