Mission Viejo native, Saints, Jr. Ducks, SMCHS alum Devlin nabs NAHL Defenseman of the Month honors

 

The NAHL has announced that Anchorage Wolverines blueliner Brock Devlin is the Defenseman of the Month.

The Mission Viejo native led all defensemen in January with his 14 total points and 1.40 points per game. Devlin found the back of the net three times, added 11 assists, and sported a plus-seven rating over 10 games.

This award marks the second time this season the 2005 birth year has earned this honor. There has only been one month this season that the Dartmouth commit has not won the Defenseman of the Month award or was named the runner-up.

Devlin shares his thoughts on winning the honor and hopes for the rest of the season.

“I am very thankful to win Defenseman of the Month,” said Devlin. “It wouldn’t have been possible without my teammates and all the staff in Anchorage. I am very fortunate to be surrounded by people who push themselves and others to be their best every day. As a team, we are very confident that we can make it back to the Robertson Cup and ultimately win it all this year.”

Devlin has been dominant all season long. He leads the Wolverines and defensemen in the league with his 54 total points, 44 assists, 1.38 points per game, and five game-winning goals, and is tied first with his plus-26 rating. His offensive prowess has been felt on the ice for the Wolverines.

Wolverines head coach Nick Walters shared what he has seen from Devlin’s work on the ice.

“Again, the Anchorage Wolverines are excited to see Brock get selected by the league for the Defensemen of the Month award,” said Walters. “I feel like I am starting to run out of things to say about this young man. He has had a heck of a season, and I know it is only going to continue as we head into the last 20 games of the regular season. Seeing the work that he has put in the last couple of years, he has been deserving of the accolades and ultimately earning the college scholarship at Dartmouth.

“As a coach, getting to work with Brock daily is one of a kind. I feel like I learn just as much from him as I hope he is learning from me and the rest of the staff. I say it all of the time, but the way he sees the game and some of the things he can do offensively, I don’t think you can teach. He’s a humble kid, but we are lucky to have him a part of our organization and I am excited to see what this group can accomplish down the stretch.”

Back home, Devlin played for the San Diego Saints, Anaheim Jr. Ducks and Santa Margarita Catholic High School.
