Hookers Announce Annual Awards
Reed Named MVP for Third Time in Four Years

July 8, 2008 - The Las Vegas Hookers announced their annual player awards for the 2007-2008 season. Awards were presented for Most Valuable Player, Top Goal Scorer, Top Point Scorer, Top Rookie, Gentlemanly Conduct, Most Improved Player, Top Defender, Top Defensive Foward, and Play-Off Most Valuable Player.

Several Hookers enjoyed outstanding seasons, making award selection tough. The club had four fifty goal scorers, three 100 point scorers, and a record setting goalie.

Mike Reed was named Most Valuable Player for the third time in four years. Reed scored 57 goals and 57 assists for 114 points in 56 games. It was Reed's third consecutive 100 point season.

Keith Capobianco took home honors for Top Goal Scorer and Top Point Scorer. Last year's USA Hockey National Championship MVP tallied 71 goals and 53 assists for 124 points. Capobianco surpassed the 50 goal and 100 point marks for the second straight year.

Rob Sayer was named Most Improved Player. Sayer made the switch from defense to offense and went from scoring 11 goals and 42 total poiints in 2007 to 53 goals and 49 assists for 102 points in 2008.

Cary Snider took the award for Rookie of the Year. Snider was a fixture in front of opposition nets, scoring 50 goals and 14 assists for 64 points. Snider also captured the award for Gentlemanly Conduct by being penalized 30 times for a total of 87 minutes.

Tim Mitchell broke Todd Brautigam's three year hold on the Top Defender title. Mitchell scored 10 goals and 12 assists. But more importantly the big Ho was a nearly impossible to beat in the neutral zone or his own end all season.

Patrick Bailiey was named Top Defensive Forward. Bailey made the transition from power forward to checker and sacrificed his scoring in order to shut down opponents' top scoring threats throughout the season.

Chris Danna earned the Play-Off Most Valuable Player award by leading the club in scoring through the play-offs. Danna scored 11 goals and eight assists for 19 points in the play-offs. Danna also scored the tying goal and winning goal in the championship final against Shucks.

Special mention should be made of a few other players who made big contributions. Brautigam scored 37 goals and 50 assists for 87 points from a defensive position. It was the third year in a row in which he scored more than 80 points.

Josh Hoover scored 28 goals and 31 assists for 59 points while playing both offense and defense. It was the second year Hoover managed to gather more than 50 points despite playing in just over 30 games each season. Like Hoover, Ryan Hoffman played offense and defense. He appeared in 39 games and scored 15 goals and 35 assists for 50 points.

Mark Bonner played in 30 games before being traded to Philadelphia Phury in the gay hockey league. Bonner scored 20 goals and 31 assists for 51 points. Finally, the league's leading scorer from last season, Paul Kasztelan, managed 18 goals and 7 assists for 25 points in just 9 games before the club "decided to go in a different direction."

Congratulations to each of the award winners and all the Hookers for winning yet another leaugue championship title.

Hookers Finish As Top Defensive Team
Brown Allows Fewest Goals Against for Third Straight Year

July 1, 2008 - The Las Vegas Hookers allowed the fewest goals against in both the B and C divisions of the LVICHL. Back-stopping the team, goalie Tom Brown finished the regular season with a 3.62 goals against average and .900 save percentage - both club records. He also set a new club standard with seven shut-outs in league play plus one in tournament play. For Brown and the Hookers it was the third consecutive year in which they took the defensive title in the B division and the second straight year in the C division.

Brown finished the season with a record of 41-13-2. It was his second consecutive forty-win season. He has 152 career wins as a Hooker. Brown has finished as the top goalie five times since joining the Las Vegas Hookers. He also earned a top-goalie award in 2001 while leading the Dallas Moose Knuckles to a regional tournament championship and a league championship in Texas. In 2007, Brown posted the lowest goals against in the USA Hockey National Championship tournament while helping lead his club to the title.

Cizdziel Says Good-bye
Tough Defender Pursues Better Hockey Through Chemistry

July 7, 2008 - The Las Vegas Hookers announced the departure of Jim Cizdziel. The plucky defender played two seasons for the Hookers tallying 1 goal and 15 assists for 16 points. He also picked up 28 penalty minutes. Cizdziel was a solid two-way player who as former Hooker and current Sabre star Wally Lacroix once noted was, "one tough sucker to get around." Cizdziel will be heading to Mississippi where he will take up a teaching post in the chemistry department of Ole Miss.
