<br />
Already the all-time win leader for the Nighthawks, Danny became the first Nighthawks goalie ever to hit the 50-Win mark with this last victory, a feat accomplished in 111 games spanning over a little more than 3 seasons.  Of those 50 wins, 12 of them were shutouts, another department in which he leads all other Nighthawks goalies in.<br />
<br />
Second place on that all-time win list for the Nighthawks?  His older brother Sean with 35 wins. <img src="/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif" align="absmiddle" border=0><br />
<br />
Congrats Danny.<br /><br />[ <a href='http://www.nighthawkshockey.com/forum/viewthread.php?tid=1229'>No Respones</a> | <a href='http://www.nighthawkshockey.com/forum/post.php?action=reply&fid=1&tid=1229'>Post Response</a> ]]]></description><link>http://www.nighthawkshockey.com/forum/viewthread.php?tid=tid</link><pubDate>Thu, 09 Nov 2006 05:57:26 +0000</pubDate><guid>http://www.nighthawkshockey.com/forum/viewthread.php?tid=1229</guid></item><item><title>Stay Current with Metro Central Standings and Results</title><description><![CDATA[As promised last month, there are two new <a href="http://www.nighthawkshockey.com/rss.php" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.nighthawkshockey.com/images/rss_sm.png" border=0></a> <a href="http://www.nighthawkshockey.com/rss.php" target="_blank">RSS feeds</a> that are now available here at Nighthawks Hockey Online to receive the latest Metro Central Standings and Results as they're posted.<br />
