Gwinnett's Brad Schell 2006-07 ECHL MVP
Friday, Apr. 13th, 2007
PRINCETON, N.J. – The ECHL on Thursday announced that Gwinnett Gladiators center Brad Schell has been named the CCM Vector Most Valuable Player for 2006-07.
The annual award is presented to the ECHL player adjudged to be the most valuable to his team as voted by the coaches of the ECHL teams.
Jeff Campbell of Gwinnett captured the honor in 2005-06 making the Gladiators the only team since Erie in 1988-89 with Daryl Harpe and 1989-90 with Bill McDougall to have back-to-back winners.
Schell became the first player since 2002-03 to score 100 points finishing as the ECHL leader with 110 points in 63 games and he 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 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.
Las Vegas goaltender Mike McKenna (38 gp, 27-4-7, 5 shutouts, 2.21 GAA, .927 save pct.) finished second while Dayton goaltender Adam Berkhoel (43 gp, 23-17-3, 2.44 GAA, .910 save pct.) and Dayton center Yannick Tifu (78 gp, 28g, 61a, 89 pts) were third and fourth.
