W 15 Season Ending Stats-Hoyer Earns 4th Consecutive Scoring Title

During the Bomber's run to the Winter 2015 Federal League Finals, 'Jean' Eric Hoyer scored 17 goals and added 12 assists.  Those 29 points were good enough for first on the Bombers, continuing a streak that has reached four consecutive seasons.  Since joining the club in February of 2010, Hoyer has led the Bombers in scoring in 9 of his 16 seasons.  In 14 of those seasons he has finished either first or second in team scoring.  Never a liability on the ice, JEH has zero penalty minutes in 11 of 16 seasons never taking more than one minor penalty in a season.  That adds up to 10 PIMs in 242 games.  Combine that with missing only 6 of 248 games since his signing and one can see that #27 is always available to be on the ice, which is something a franchise looks for in its star players.

The goal lead was also Hoyer's who scored 17, eight more than the nine Bill Auld netted.  Rob Pellegrino and Drew Campbell tied for third on the team with six.

The Assist leader was not Hoyer's but instead that distinction went to the rookie, Rob Pellegrino, who had 14.  Five of those came in the semifinal playoff matchup with the Mulligans that propelled the Bombers to the league Finals.

Josh Burke was a standout in net with an impressive 3.00 GAA.  That mark was tied for third best in franchise history.  Burke also has the top two season GAA marks with 2.78 (SM 05 Twin Oaks) and 2.88 (SM 09 BSA).  A 2-0 shutout versus Powertime on March 11th was his eighth for the franchise.

Kyle Kappmeier, Bill Auld, and Drew Campbell tied for the high mark in penalty minutes with eight apiece.  The number was an historically low one representative of the very few penalties taken by the team in the Winter 15 season.  The Bombers averaged less than one minor per game, amassing a minuscule 1.53 minutes per contest.
