NOJHL names its Eastlink TV 3 Stars of the Week

SUDBURY, Ont. – The Northern Ontario Junior Hockey League announced Monday that forwards Tyler Gilberds (Timmins Rock), Eric Barnard (Espanola Express) and Carson Van Tighem (Soo Eagles) have been named its Eastlink TV 3 Stars of the Week for the period ending March 20.

TYLER GILBERDS, (F) TIMMINS ROCK – A league-high eight points by Gilberds helped Timmins go 2-0-1-0 last week and maintain their lead atop the ever-competitive NOJHL East Division standings.

The 20-year-old Georgetown, Ont., product became the fifth player this season to notch four goals in a contest as he set a personal single-game best with his tallies, which came in a lopsided victory in Elliot Lake Sunday.

Gilberds also became the first Rock skater to score four times in a match-up, since Jordan Rendle accomplished the feat back on February 25, 2017 in a 7-5 triumph versus French River.

While also adding four assists in his weekly run, the veteran forward is now just one point shy of matching a season-best.

ERIC BARNARD, (F) ESPANOLA EXPRESS – The 17-year-old first-year forward piled up seven points for the Express over the weekend featuring five Sunday in a matinee decision over visiting Greater Sudbury.

Included in that performance for Barnard was his initial NOJHL hat trick along with a pair of assists, which gave him a single-game-best five points.

He also added two more helpers in a road meeting at Elliot Lake.

Hailing from Owen Sound, Ont., Barnard has averaged over a point-per-game since he was added to the Espanola roster back in December.

CARSON VAN TIGHEM, (F) SOO EAGLES – The 19-year-old DeWitt, Mich., product had a pair of multi-point outings in helping the Eagles collect a pair of victories.

Van Tighem began with a goal and an assist in a shootout triumph on the road at Greater Sudbury, then tallied twice and helped set-up another in a home ice victory over Kirkland Lake.

His weekly run saw him extend a personal season-best point streak to four straight contests.

Since joining the Eagles back in mid-November, after missing most of the past two seasons to injury, Van Tighem’s club sports an impressive 9-0-1-0 record in the 10 contests in which he registered at least one point.
