Player of the Week Trophy to Hughes
It can be difficult for a young player to step out of the shadows and assert himself in the West, but last week <Abel Hughes:player#5993> of the <Colorado Springs Avalanche:team#14> reminded everyone just why he's here as he threw up numbers that made him an easy selection for Player of the Week. Hughes rocked opposing pitching for a .609 average (14-for-23), 3 home runs and 11 RBIs to come away with the award.

Currently <Hughes:player#5993> is batting .308 with 19 home runs and 57 RBIs.
