Star performers
Perth Thunder: Andrew Cox
Last weekend, Jordy Kyros was the star, claiming seven points, five goals and reaching his 100th match in the AIHL. Despite that, and sitting four games behind Kyros on 96 games for the Thunder, Andrew Cox starred behind the scenes. Cox scored seven points of his own with five assists in last weekend’s result and continues to be the fifth highest scoring local player in the AIHL and the Thunder’s highest local point scorer. He’s another player headed for his best season ever in the AIHL.
Melbourne Mustangs: Vinnie Hughes
There are few things that Vinnie Hughes has yet to do in his AIHL career. Having won four Goodall Cups with two different clubs, played for Australia and been one of the toughest players to have pulled on a jersey in the AIHL, Vinnie Hughes has hit his 200th game. It’s a great milestone for someone who has done everything in this league and has had a career almost as long as the league has been running.
Cold Hard Stats
1. This is will be the fourth meeting between the Thunder and the Mustangs in 2015. The Thunder currently lead the season series 2-1-0-0.
