Kyler Kupka of the South Carolina Stingrays is the Inglasco ECHL Player of the Week for Feb. 10-16.
Kupka scored five goals and added two assists for seven points in three games last week.
The 25-year-old scored a pair of goals and added an assist in a 5-3 win at Savannah on Thursday, notched a goal in a 3-1 victory over Wheeling on Saturday and tallied two goals while adding an assist in a 5-4 overtime win against Jacksonville on Sunday.
A native of Camrose, Alberta, Kupka leads ECHL rookies – and is tied for third overall in the league – with 25 goals and is second among first-year players, and 10th overall, with 48 points in 47 games this season. He made his pro debut with South Carolina late last season, recording four points (2g-2a) in seven games.
Prior to turning pro, Kupka tallied 85 points (32g-53a) in 85 career games at St. Cloud State University.
On behalf of Kyler Kupka, a case of pucks will be donated to a South Carolina youth hockey organization by Inglasco, the exclusive puck supplier of the ECHL. Since beginning its sponsorship of the award in 2000-01, Inglasco has donated more than 51,000 pucks to youth hockey organizations in ECHL cities.
