Texas Training Camp Invitee Mouillierat Named ECHL Rookie of the Month

Kael Mouillierat, whose name is almost as hard to spell as Tyler Beskorowany, has been named the ECHL Rookie of the Month for November. Mouillierat was in camp with the Texas Stars this summer and potted one goal in his time here, a tally assisted by Nino Musitelli in the Stars victory at San Antonio. Kael has been on a tear in the month of November, tallying 15 points in only 10 games with the Steelheads.

Here's the full release from the ECHL:

Idaho Steelheads forward Kael Mouillierat has been selected as the Reebok Hockey ECHL Rookie of the Month for November.

The 22 year old scored nine goals and added six assists for 15 points in 10 games during November helping the Steelheads to a 7-2-2 record in the month and to within two points of first place in the Mountain Division. Mouillierat began the month with a six-game scoring streak which included a hat trick in a 5-2 win at Victoria on Nov. 6. He closed the month with six points (2g-4a) in the final three games including his second three-point game (1g-2a) in a 6-3 win at Victoria on Nov. 27.
