Hefford Sets new Record and Ouellette scoring streak continues
Jan 22, 2009

Jayna Hefford is the first player to reach 100 points in the two-year old Canadian Women's Hockey League. The reigning CWHL Most Valuable Player scored four goals in Saturdays (January 17th) game in Brampton's 6-2 victory over the league-leading Stars de Montréal. Hefford has 54 goals and 47 assists in 47 CWHL regular-season games over the last two seasons.

With a little less than half a season to go (30-game schedule), the second-place Brampton-Thunder trail the Stars by eight points in the league standings and Hefford also closes in on the Stars' Caroline Ouellette in the league scoring race for the Angela James Bowl. Hefford has 43 points this season, 8 less than Ouellette's 51. Ouellette scored one goal on Saturday and two on Sunday, thus extending her scoring streak to a league-record 18 games.

Hefford scored her 25th, 26th, 27th and 28th goals of the 2008-09 season.
Along with hitting the 100-point milestone, she established the CWHL's new single-season goal-scoring record (she scored 26 goals in the inaugural 2007-08 season). Hefford now chases her own women's league goal-scoring record of 41 goals established five years ago in the old National Women's Hockey League.
