The first two weeks of MJAHL action have produced some very close games and it's certainly too early to tell who will emerge on top, both in the way of standings, or in terms of who will dominate the scoring column. However, one thing is certain: the Summerside Western Capitals are on top in the scoring column and rookie Darcy Ashley is the league-leading scorer.
It comes as no surprise that new Head Coach Gordie Dwyer is excited about what the future holds for the 16 year-old Ashley. Dwyer not only likes his scoring abilities, but sees him as one of his top workhorses. "He tested in top physical condition and has been a top performer since opening day", says Dwyer. "Darcy has great offensive instincts and is a real competitor. He has a strong work ethic and will continue to improve. Darcy will be an impact player for the Summerside Western Capitals and a sure fan favorite."
Ashley, a 5' 9" 170lb winger drafted from the Cornwall Thunder, has turned in a very impressive 11 points in four games (5 goals, 6 assists). His most impressive outing was Sunday night against Campbellton where the rookie notched up two goals and two assists. In addition to his leading in points, Ashley is the top goal scorer at this point with 5.
Harrison McIver and Chad Earle are close behind their teammate - both players have 9 points, tied for third behind Miramichi's Matt Milson, last week's Player of the Week. Nathan Desroches is next for the Caps with 8 points. Two more Caps round out the top 10 in scoring as Neil Sherren and Trevor Carmichael hold the 9th and 10th spots with 6 points each.
