In three games with the Icemen last week, Chris Grando tallied five goals and three assists.

The ECHL announced Tuesday that Jacksonville Icemen left winger Chris Grando is the Inglasco ECHL Player of the Week for Jan. 6-12.

It was quite a week for the native of Islip, N.Y. Grando scored five goals and added three assists in three games for a +8.

Four of those eight points on the week came when he delivered a hat trick and an assist in a 5-2 victory over the Greenville Swamp Rabbits Jan. 8. He also scored a pair of goals and added an assist in a 4-1 win over the Atlanta Gladiators Jan. 10 and dished out another helper in a 5-1 triumph over the South Carolina Stingrays Jan. 11.

The 26-year-old Grando currently has 20 points (10-10-20) in 35 games with Jacksonville this season. He has 75 points (29-46-75) in 119 career games with the Icemen.

Before beginning his pro career, the 5-foot-10, 172-pound left-shot winger played in 166 NCAA games with Arizona State and Boston College, collecting 64 points (26-38-64). His major junior career was spent with the Green Bay Gamblers of the United States Hockey League, where he recorded 54 points (22-32-54) in 115 career games.

On behalf of Chris Grando, Inglasco will donate a case of pucks to a Jacksonville youth hockey organization. Since beginning its sponsorship of the Player of the Week award in 2000-01, Inglasco, the exclusive puck supplier of the ECHL, has donated more than 51,000 pucks to youth hockey organizations in ECHL cities.
