NOJHL names its Eastlink TV 3 Stars of the Week

SUDBURY, Ont. – The Northern Ontario Junior Hockey League announced Monday that goaltender Noah Metivier (Greater Sudbury Cubs); forward Nicolas Pigeon (Timmins Rock) and defenceman Adam Shillinglaw (Hearst Lumberjacks) have been named its Eastlink TV 3 Stars of the Week, for the period ending March 5.

NOAH METIVIER, (G) GREATER SUDBURY CUBS – Getting the start in both of Greater Sudbury’s games last week, Metivier won both of them and was very stingy in doing do.

In all, the 19-year-old from Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., allowed just one to get by him to record a stingy 0.50 goals-against average, along with an equally stellar .981 save percentage, while posting his fourth shutout of the season in the time frame.

Metivier now has 36 wins in his first 48 NOJHL appearances, including 16 so far  this season.

NICOLAS PIGEON, (F) TIMMINS ROCK – Collecting a NOJHL-best seven points in a pair of Timmins’ triumphs, the 20-year-old Aylmer, Que., continues to pace all league skaters.

Pigeon tallied three times and helped set-up four others as the league-leading Rock continue to roll along.

Pigeon is now just two points shy of reaching the century mark in offensive production. Entering play this week, the Timmins captain is riding a 17-game point streak while topping all NOJHLers in both assists and points with 74 and 98 respectively.

ADAM SHILLINGLAW, (D) HEARST LUMBERJACKS – Contributing at both ends of the ice, the 18-year-old blueliner from New Liskeard, Ont., dished out four assists in a pair of Hearst victories helping them run a winning streak to nine in a row.

Having provided nine helpers in his past six contests for the Lumberjacks, Shillinglaw has easily doubled his personal single-season point totals from last season, when he played defence with Espanola, with two goals and having aided on 34 others.

He boasts nine multi-point outings to date in the 2022-23 campaign, with Hearst having gone 8-0-1-0 in those games.
