Star performers
Sydney Bears: Michael Schlamp
Closing in on his 200th game, it could be argued that Michael Schlamp has been the heart and soul of the Sydney Bears, especially for the past few seasons. With Joseph Harcharik sitting eighth on points in the AIHL, Schlamp is having his best season since 2012, sitting fourth for all local players. On top of that, Schlamp is an inspirational captain that seems to lift his teammates. With the Bears still in contention for the finals, Schlamp will be a key to the Sydney-sider’s chances.
Newcastle North Stars: Geordie Wudrick
Although opposition teams will be cheering that the ever dangerous Luke Moffatt has headed off to fulfil his professional commitments in Italy, Geordie Wudrick will be out to continue his brilliant season that has seen him tally 66 points so far, without his linemate. Although it will be interesting to see how he goes without Moffatt, with whom he has had a fruitful relationship this season, Wudrick will be keen to continue the form that’s helped him to top the AIHL point scoring ladder.
