April 21, 2025 - American Hockey League (AHL)
Charlotte Checkers News Release
The league announced today that Oliver Okuliar has been named the Howies Hockey Tape/AHL Player of the Week.
The 24-year-old forward exploded for seven points (3g, 4a) in three games for Charlotte last week. Okuliar helped the Checkers close out the regular season with three big wins by racking up three points (2g, 1a) in Hartford on Wednesday, posting two more points (1g, 1a) on Friday in Springfield and wrapping things up with a pair of helpers in Saturday's finale.
