Ones to Watch - Adrenaline VS Ice, Sunday 11th May

Adelaide Adrenaline: Daniel Koudelka
Defenseman Daniel Koudelka was the bright spark on a struggling night for Adelaide. He was relentless against Melbourne’s forwards—chasing them down, applying pressure every time they touched the puck and disrupting plays with stick work. Koudelka’s work ethic was on full display as he tirelessly skated down the ice, constantly looking for passing options and making decisions even under pressure. The 2024 Rookie of the Year’s effort to keep the puck in the offensive zone and force turnovers was undeniable for the full 60 minutes last night.

Melbourne Ice: Tatsunoshin Ishida
Melbourne Ice Goalie Tatsunoshin Ishida was a major factor in last night’s matchup. He was a brick wall in the crease with crazy saves to keep his team ahead. Ishida currently leads the league with an outstanding .940 save percentage and his confident presence between the pipes helped give Melbourne the 12-2 win.
