Jr. Kings product, Los Angeles native Silverberg bags weekly NAHL honors

 

The NAHL South Division Star of the Week is New Mexico Ice Wolves goaltender Jackson Silverberg.

Earning his second South Division Star of the Week honors of the 2025-26 season, Silverberg played a crucial role in net both nights for the Ice Wolves.

“Jackson has been lights out for us,” said Ice Wolves head coach Kyle McKenzie. “His approach and work ethic day in and day out are impressive. He deserves all the credit.”

Starting things off on Friday night, the 5-foot-9 netminder turned aside 32 shots on net, securing his team a 5-3 victory over the Shreveport Mudbugs. That Friday night contest was Silverberg’s fifth consecutive game making 30 or more saves for New Mexico.

The 2006-born Los Angeles native continued his defensive dominance in the blue paint on Saturday night, saving a season-high number of shots, allowing one early goal by the Mudbugs, and then showcased a near-perfect performance between the pipes. He stopped 43 shots on net, securing a dominant .977 save percentage from that lone game. His work in the crease helped the Ice Wolves secure a weekend sweep against the Mudbugs.

For the weekend, Silverberg secured a .949 save percentage and a 2.00 goals-against average. For the year, the Los Angeles Jr. Kings alum sports a .918 save performance and 2.60 goals-against average in 37 games.
