Each Monday, the Waterloo Black Hawks staff recognizes players as the team's Offensive Player of the Week and the Hardest Worker of the Week.  

Christie Door Company Offensive Player of the Week: Dylan Nolan
Friday against Omaha, Nolan scored a pair of crucial goals during Waterloo's 6-4 win.  Early in the second period, Nolan erased Waterloo's only deficit, then later he scored a power play goal to put the Hawks ahead before intermission.  Nolan now has 11 goals this season. 

The weekly offensive honor is presented by Christie Door Company.  With roots in the Cedar Valley which stretch back into the 1950s, Christie Door Company offers the largest selection of quality door options at prices to meet their customers' budget.  Their motto is: Our Name Stands for Quality, Value is our Tradition!

UAW Local 838 Hardest Worker: James Russell
Russell was the only Black Hawk to finish both weekend games with a positive plus/minus differential.  He was a cumulative +2.  Russell also had the primary assist on his brother Hayden's third period goal to break up Cedar Rapids' shutout bid.

Hardest Worker recognition is presented by UAW Local 838.  The United Automobile, Aerospace and Agricultural Implement Workers of America (UAW) is one of the largest and most diverse unions in North America.  Their message: American jobs are worth fighting for.
