Anaheim Hills product, California youth hockey grad Mayhew bags weekly honors from NCHC

 

The NCHC announced today that Denver senior Kyle Mayhew is the NCHC Defenseman of the Week.

Mayhew was a solid contributor at both ends of the ice to help Denver earn four points in conference play against No. 4 St. Cloud State.

On Friday, he dished out an assist that helped put DU ahead 2-1 in an eventual overtime loss. The alternate captain also blocked two shots in the series opener and led the Pioneers to go 2 for 2 on the penalty kill. A night later, Mayhew scored his first goal of the season on the power play, putting Denver in front 3-1 in an eventual 3-2 victory. His goal served as the game-winner, his second career game-winning goal, which was one of two shots on goal he fired on the night.

Mayhew ended the weekend with a game-winning goal, an assist, a plus-1 plus-minus rating and two shots on goal. He also played on a penalty kill unit that finished the weekend 5 for 7. Mayhew tripled his season point total against SCSU, entering with only an assist on the year. He is now riding a career-long-tying three-game point streak after a point each night against the Huskies.

Back home, the Anaheim Hills native played for the OC Hockey Club, San Diego Jr. Gulls and Anaheim Jr. Ducks.
