The Toledo Walleye are riding high, sitting third in the western conference and topping the central division. The club is 4-2-2-2 in their past 10 games, with much of the credit to their strong run and sparkling numbers going to league points and goal leader Brandon Hawkins.
Hawkins, 29, has followed up a 39-goal, 81-point season with the Walleye in 2022-23 with a league-leading run in 2023-24. Through 46 games Hawkins has put up 28 goals and added 33 assists for 61 points.
Last night's 6-4 victory over the Cincinnati Cyclones saw Hawkins reach yet another key milestone, as he netted his 100th goal as a Walleye.
The undrafted forward has bounced between the AHL and ECHL through his pro career, with American League stints with Wilkes-Barre/Scranton, Rochester, Cleveland and Chicago.
In the ECHL Hawkins has suited up for the Wheeling Nailers, Fort Wayne Komets and three seasons with the Walleye. Overall Hawkins has amassed a sturdy 278 points across 248 games.
