Tuesday, Apr. 10th, 2007
PRINCETON, N.J. – Brad Schell of the Gwinnett Gladiators became the first player since 2002-03 to score 100 points finishing as the ECHL leader with 110 points in 63 games.
He also led the league with 85 assists, which is the fourth-most assists in ECHL history. The 85 assists and 110 points are the most scored in the league since 1999-2000 when John Spoltore of Louisiana had 92 assists and 119 points in 66 games. The last ECHL player to score 100 points was Buddy Smith of Arkansas, who led the ECHL with 104 points in 2002-03.
Schell’s teammate Scott Mifsud finished second with 68 assists and 94 points in 70 games. The pair are only the second set of teammates in ECHL history to finish first and second in assists, joining Louisiana’s Ron Handy and John De Pourcq, who led the league in 1996-97 with 67 assists and 63 assists.
Schell was named First Team All-ECHL last week and was selected as a starter for the 2007 ECHL All-Star Game where he scored the first goal in the American Conference’s 6-3 win. Under contract to the Atlanta Thrashers of the National Hockey League, the 22-year-old is currently playing in the American Hockey League where he has four points (2g-2a) in nine games for the Chicago Wolves. In his third professional season, Schell has 242 points (62g-180a) in 194 regular season games and 19 points (3g-16a) in 25 games in the Kelly Cup Playoffs for Gwinnett.
Schell and Mifsud become the fifth set of teammates to finish first and second in scoring. Alaska’s Alex Leavitt and Mike Scott finished first and second in 2005-06 while South Carolina’s Ed Courtenay and Mike Ross tied for the scoring lead in 1996-97. Erie’s Scott Burfoot led the league in scoring and teammate Stephane Charbonneau was second in 1994-95 and Stan Drulia of Knoxville finished first and teammate Dan Gauthier was second in 1990-91.
