Move over, hockey fans, Tahoe Knight Monsters just crowned their newest skating sensation. Sloan Stanick, the 21-year-old phenom, just snagged the ECHL Rookie of the Year, and he’s not just playing the game, he’s rewriting the rulebook.

Breaking Records, Breaking Expectations

With a jaw-dropping 29 goals and 50 assists in just 70 games, Stanick didn’t just lead the rookie category, he demolished it. His 79 points crushed the competition by a massive 24-point margin, making him a standout not just among rookies, but across the entire ECHL.

The Line That Conquered

Stanick’s success isn’t a solo act. His dynamic line with Hughes and Simon Pinard has been pure magic, with 22 of his assists feeding directly into Pinard’s impressive 33 goals. “We’re together all the time every single day,” Stanick shared, highlighting the brotherhood that fuels their on-ice chemistry.

Playoff Bound and Fired Up

With the Knight Monsters heading into their Kelly Cup playoff run in Wichita, Stanick’s excitement is electric. “It’s going to be even louder and we’re really excited for it,” he promised fans. Head Coach Alex Loh can’t stop singing his praises, noting Stanick’s commitment from “day one”.
