Tom Kuhnhackl - Precision Jewellers and Windsor Spitfires Player of the Month for March

You name it, and Tom Kuhnhackl probably did it at some point in the last few weeks.
With seven goals, four assists and a +6 rating in 12 games, Kuhnhackl is the Precision Jewellers Windsor Spitfires Player of the Month for March.
As impressive as the numbers are, they only tell part of the story.
Kuhnhackl almost single-handedly carried the Spitfires through the front half of the month, scoring the winner in three consecutive games.
The big winger from Landshut, Germany had the decisive shootout goal in a 4-3 win over Guelph on March 6th. He followed up with another shootout winner, this time in a 4-3 win over Owen Sound on March 10th. His 37th goal of the season was also the winner that same weekend, in 4-3 overtime win over the Sarnia Sting.
Clearly impressed with his play, the Pittsburgh Penguins signed Kuhnhackl to a three-year, entry level contract on March 22nd. He was a fourth-round pick of the Pens in the 2010 NHL Entry Draft - a choice that now looks like a steal for General Manager Ray Shero.
After all that, Kuhnhackl literally saved his best for last in March.
Just two days after he was forced to leave Game Three of the Spitfires-Otters playoff series, with what looked like a serious leg injury, Kuhnhackl dominated Game Four with two goals and two assists, leading the Spits to a 7-4 win and a decisive 3-1 series lead.
For his outstanding performance, Kuhnhackl will be presented with a gift from Dan Thomas of Precision Jewellers.

Ryan Ellis – OHL Player and Defenceman of the Month, Precision Jewellers and Windsor Spitfires Player of the Month for February
But February was a particularly strong month for Spitfires defenceman Ryan Ellis. And, today, he was recognized by the team and league with a trio of honours.
Ellis is the Ontario Hockey League Player and Defenceman of the Month, as well as the Precision Jewellers Windsor Spitfires Player of the Month for February.
He is the first defenceman to win OHL Player of the Month honours this season. It's the third time and second straight OHL Defenceman of the Month honour and the third time he has been named the Precision Jewellers Player of the Month this season.
The latest milestone reached in his illustrious junior hockey career was the 300-point plateau. Ellis accomplished the feat on Sunday, February 27th with a pair of goals in a 6-5 overtime loss in Sudbury. That put him into third place on the all-time list for points by an OHL defenceman, behind only Rick Corriveau (329) and the great Denis Potvin (330).
Earlier that week, Ellis moved into second place in points in Windsor Spitfires franchise history, behind only Bill Bowler (467).
Ellis had a huge month statistically.
In 13 games, he had seven goals and 15 assists, leading all OHL scorers. Ellis recorded points in each of the last 12 games of the month and had nine multi-point games.
He is currently riding a 13-game point streak, and his next point will give him a single-season, career-high of 90.
Ellis currently leads the Spitfires in scoring and is fourth overall among OHL point-getters.
For his outstanding performance, Ellis will be presented with a gift from Dan Thomas of Precision Jewellers, prior to an upcoming Spitfires home game.
The Spits are on the road Saturday night in Plymouth, before returning home for a Sunday matinee match-up with the Guelph Storm. Tickets for that game can be purchased at the TekSavvy Box Office (Gate 2, WFCU Centre), by calling 519-254-5000 or by visiting the tickets section of our website.
