The North American 3 Hockey League (NA3HL) is pleased to announce the Divisional Stars of the Week for week 5 of the 2026-27 season. This weekly award recognizes the top-performing players from each of the league’s six divisions, as nominated by their head coaches, for their outstanding contributions on the ice.
Central Division Star of the Week: Robert Kelly, Forward, St. Louis Jr. Blues
The Festus, Missouri native skated to a four point performance last weekend during two games against the Peoria Mustangs. Robert Kelly, a newcomer to the St. Louis Jr. Blues scored two goals in both games against the Mustangs. On Friday, he played an integral part in the Jr. Blues’ third period push. He scored their first goal of the game at the top of the third period, and again later in the third. On Saturday, he scored both of St. Louis’ goals to lead them to a 2-1 victory over the Mustangs.
Jr. Blues head coach Matt Ocello talked about his hard work on the ice.
“Robert had a great weekend for the Jr. Blues versus the Mustangs. He scored 2 goals in Friday night’s almost comeback and scored both goals in Saturday’s 2-1 win. He has been putting in the hard work all season and those efforts are paying off with the rewards. He continues to play well defensively but also brings an offensive knack to the table. We are looking forward to seeing him continue to improve and progress over the course of the season.”
2nd Star: Shawn Paulson, Forward, West Bend Power
3rd Star: Zach Staelgraeve, Forward, Peoria Mustangs
