South Division Star of the Week: Kieran Durgan, forward, Shreveport Mudbugs
Shreveport Mudbugs forward Kieran Durgan, 19, had a big weekend as the Mudbugs split their home-and-home series with the division-leading Lone Star Brahmas. The native of St. John’s, Michigan, recorded six points (3 goals, 3 assists) in the two games and was a +4. On Friday, Durgan (6’1/190) had a goal and two assists in a 4-3 road loss at Lone Star. The next night, Durgan scored two goals, including the game-winner, and added an assist in a 5-2 home win over the Brahmas. In 21 games played this season, the former NAPHL player has 16 points. “Kieran is a very competitive, hard-skating forward who sees the ice well and goes to the hard areas of the rink. Most importantly, he is a diligent person whose leadership on and off the ice has helped lay the foundation of our culture here in Shreveport,” said Mudbugs head coach Karlis Zirnis.
