See who fans voted as the top performer from Jan. 17-22.

Athletes are considered for the weekly top performer poll only if their stats are entered on the MN Hockey Hub by 10 a.m. on Sundays. If coaches or members of their staffs need access to enter stats, please email mnhubs@sportngin.com.


Top performer winner

Brock Peyton, Orono. The junior goaltender narrowly missed earning his third shutout of the season on Jan. 18, facing 50 shots for the second straight game. Peyton posted a .980 save percentage as he allowed just one goal against Chaska as the Spartans lost 2-0. His .923 season save percentage sits just outside the top-10 ranking for all goalies in the state.

Top performer candidates

Finn Brink, Maple Grove. The Crimson earned back-to-back 7-0 wins last week, led by the junior forward's two best games of the season. Brink doubled his previous season best of three points in the Crimson’s victory at Blaine on Jan. 20 when he tallied four goals and two assists. On Jan. 22 against Osseo, Brink recorded a hat trick — including one goal on a power play and one shorthanded — and added an assist.

Brock Peyton, Orono. The junior goaltender narrowly missed earning his third shutout of the season on Jan. 18, facing 50 shots for the second straight game. Peyton posted a .980 save percentage as he allowed just one goal against Chaska as the Spartans lost 2-0. His .923 season save percentage sits just outside the top-10 ranking for all goalies in the state.

Sam Ranallo, Rogers. The junior forward led the Royals’ to two wins last week, recording eight points on the team's 13 goals. On Jan. 20, the Royals completed a comeback win at Champlin Park. Trailing by three goals after the first period, Ranallo scored two power play goals and added an assist in the second period, leading the come-from-behind 5-4 victory. On Jan. 22, the Royals defeated Spring Lake Park 8-2 behind Ranallo’s five points. He scored a pair of goals and added three assists — one of each on power plays.

Landon Steffen, Blaine. Steffen led the Bengals to a 6-5 overtime victory against Blake on Jan. 18, twice coming back from a two-goal deficit to force overtime. The junior forward recorded a season-high five points — one goal and four assists. He tallied three assists within a five-minute span during the second period to give the Bengals a momentary lead. Then down by two goals mid-way through the third period, he scored to bring the game back within one. After a teammate's late heroics to tie the game in the final minute, Steffen assisted on the overtime game-winning goal.

Joseph Yoon, Albert Lea. After suffering their first loss in nine games the previous week, the Tigers got back on the winning track with victories against Austin and Rochester John Marshall. Yoon tallied a season-high six points in the Tigers’ 9-0 rout of Austin on Jan. 20, netting a pair of goals and adding four assists, including his final one shorthanded. Two nights later, the junior forward produced three points in the Tigers’ 4-1 victory against Rochester John Marshall. He recorded a power play assist early in the game and scored twice in the second half of the third period, including one goal shorthanded.
