FOGAL NAMED CHL GOALIE OF WEEK
Former Huntsville, Newmarket and Pickering netminder Brad Fogal (photo credit - Robert Keith/Central Hockey League), now with the Fort Worth Brahmas, was named Central Hockey League Goaltender of the Week for his recent performance.
A native of Sharon, Ontario, Fogal played three seasons in the OJHL, from 2004-07, as a member of the Newmarket Hurricanes, Huntsville Otters and Pickering Panthers. He would spend two stints with his nearby hometown in Newmarket, traded twice to Huntsville and Pickering, where he would end his junior career before moving on to Adrian College. His time in the OJHL would also see him play in the 2005 OPJHL All-Star Game, stopping seven shots to pick-up a 12-7 victory for the North-West Conference.
