Indiana Ice forward Scott Conway was named a USHL First-Team All-Star on Thursday.
Conway was the league's second-leading goal scorer with 33 goals. He also was fourth in total scoring with 68 points. He was also tops in the USHL with a plus-40 rating. Conway is a native of Kissimmee, Fla, and will play collegiately at Penn State.
Despite the Ice finishing with the league's second-best record, Conway was the team's lone representative. Of the 13 players selected to the first and second teams, Omaha and Waterloo had four players each.
The rest of the first team were Omaha goalie Hayden Hawkey, defensemen Brandon Montour (Waterloo) and Tucker Poolman (Omaha) and forwards Kyle Connor (Youngstown), Matt Iacopelli (Muskegon) and Jake Randolph (Omaha). The second team consisted of goalie Cal Petersen (Waterloo), defensemen Mark Friedmen (Waterloo) and Alexx Privitera (Dubuque), and forwards Jack Eichel (USA), Peter Krieger (Waterloo) and Tyler Vesel (Omaha).

Ice's Pawloski, Conway USHL Players of the Week
Indiana Ice press release
CONWAY, PAWLOSKI LOCK DOWN PLAYER OF THE WEEK HONORS
FORWARD CONWAY POTS SEVEN POINTS (6G, A), PAWLOSKI GOES 2-0-0 IN THREE-GAME WEEK
INDIANAPOLIS—The
Indiana Ice announced today that forward Scott Conway and goaltender
Jason Pawloski have been named the USHL Players of the Week for their
respective positions.
This
marks the third time Pawloski has received weekly honors after being
selected in late October and early January while Conway was picked
following another seven-point week in early March.
Conway
logged yet another career week as the first-year forward exploded for
seven points (6G, A) in the final three games of the regular season.
The stretch started with Wednesday’s 9-1 drubbing of the Dubuque
Fighting Saints where the rookie forward potted the first four-goal
game in franchise history while tying a franchise record with five
points (4G, A) in a single game. The Penn State commit then extended
his goal streak to three games with single markers
in Friday’s 4-2 loss to the Green Bay Gamblers and Saturday’s 5-2 win
over the Chicago Steel.
Through 57 games this season, Conway finished near the top of the league in several offensive categories with 68 points (4th), 33 goals (T-2nd) and a +40 plus-minus
rating (T-1st) while
leading the team in all three fields. He further etched his name in the
Ice record books after tying Daniil Tarasov’s (Worcester-AHL)
mark with a 13-game point streak.
Pawloski notched his 26th
and 27th wins of the season last week as the first-year
netminder blocked 56 of 59 shots in a pair of contests on Wednesday and
Saturday. The Omaha, NE-native limited Dubuque to a single goal on 26
attempts to score a 9-1 victory on Wednesday.
He then faced 33 shots in the season finale against Chicago,
surrendering two in the 5-2 win.
Following
a rough 1-2-2 start in his first five games, Pawloski rebounded to
finish the season tied for the league lead in wins (27) and fifth in GAA
(2.46). His four shutouts put him at third in the USHL
while matching a franchise high set by fellow goaltender Hayden Stewart
and Ice alum Brett Bennett, set during the 2008-09 Clark Cup
Championship season.
Conway,
Pawloski and the Indiana Ice look to continue their hot streak as the
team hosts the Green Bay Gamblers in games one and two of the Eastern
Conference Semifinals from Pan Am Pavilion on Friday (4/11)
and Saturday (4/12) at 7:05 pm.
Tickets
for the Clark Cup playoffs, presented by Ivy Tech, remain the same at
$15 for reserved seating and $10 for standing room only and can be
purchased on Ticketmaster or through the Indiana Ice office
at (317) 925-4423.

Ice finish with win, fall short in Anderson Cup quest
The Indiana Ice finished their most successful regular season with a strong 5-2 victory over the Chicago Steel on the road, but finished two points short in their quest for the Anderson Cup when Waterloo rallied from two one-goal deficits to defeat Cedar Rapids in a shootout.
The Ice finish the season with 91 points (42-11-7), two back of Waterloo (44-11-5). They also learned their playoff opponent, as they'll face Green Bay (30-24-6) in the best-of-5 Eastern Conference semifinal series.
The Ice never trailed Saturday, with five different players scoring goals. Included in that batch were Scott Conway -- who finishes the year scoring six of his 33 goals in the final three games -- and Brian Pinho. The latter's third-period game-winner and an earlier assist gave him 28 of each for the year. The Ice finish the year with three 20-goal scorers -- Dwyer Tschantz (24) being the third. He had an assist this evening.
Also of note, Conway and Austin Kosack each finished the year +40, the top forward and defenseman in the USHL in plus-minus.
Matt Roy and Patrick Newell scored power play goals in the first two periods to give the Ice a 2-0 edge. Pinho scored at 3:14 of the third, just 77 seconds after the Steel had cut the lead to one. Conway added an insurance goal, and Tyler Andrew scored an empty-netter to cap the regular season. Jason Pawloski made 31 saves to register his second victory of the week.
Takeaways
1. The regular season is completed, but the playoffs will be a grind. With only half of the USHL's teams making it, the postseason will be a survival contest. We'll have a more in-depth preview in the week, but the Ice and Green Bay split four games this season, and all of them were close. The road team won all four games.
2. The Ice power play was 2-for-6, the second straight game with two PPGs, even though they didn't convert on a two-minute 5-on-3 in the second period. They were 2-for-7 in Friday's loss to Green Bay.
3. As has been the case all season, great balance keyed the Ice offense, and that will be critical when the postseason begins and matchups become key. Coach Jeff Brown has lots of pieces to mix and match with. Brian Pinho (G, A) and Austin Kosack (2A) were the only two players with multi-point games, but nine different players registered a point in the contest.
4. A nice problem to have: Hayden Stewart finished the year 13-1-0 with a 1.28 GAA and a .945 save % for the Ice. Jason Pawloski is 27-8-6/2.46, but has had five solid games to close the year, going 4-1-0 with a 1.81 GAA and .932 sv% in those games.

Conway's record-setting game leads Ice to big win
Scott Conway set an Indiana Ice record with four goals, carrying the Indiana Ice to a 9-1 victory over the Dubuque Fighting Saints Wednesday at Pan Am Pavilion.
Conway's was the first four-goal game in Indiana Ice history.
Conway was one of several Ice players with big nights, as the line he centers with Patrick Newell and Dwyer Tschantz combined for 5 goals and 8 assists. In addition, Jacob Pritchard had a five-point night with a goal and four assists.
The Ice actually trailed 1-0, as Seamus Malone scored his 22nd of the season on the power play, a rebound that bounced to his stick out of a goalmouth scramble. But the deficit didn't last long. Pritchard tied the game at 10:15 of the first, Tschantz scored the eventual game-winner at 14:20, and the floodgates opened in the second. Conway scored his first goal, skating into the slot and ripping a shot at 1:59 of the second.
Things broke open when Aidan Muir (5:37), Conway (6:38) and Brian Pinho (7:24) scored three goals in 1:27 to make it a 6-1 game. Conway cashed the hat trick at 11:47, and scored at 14:00 of the third to add the exclamation point. Jason Salvaggio also scored in the third period.
9 thoughts for 9 goals
1. Scott Conway was tremendous. Not only did he score, he had a couple of excellent chances that didn't go, including a shorthanded bid late in the second.
2. Seven of the nine Ice goals had two assists, showing solid puck movement.
3. The Newell (3A)-Conway (4G/A)-Tschantz (G/3A) line was tremendous, as all three were +4. But so was the trio of Pritchard (G/4A)-Brian Pinho (G/2A)-Aidan Muir (G/A), who were all +3.
4. Brian Pinho now has seven goals in his last 5 games. He has 27 for the season.
5. Conway became the first Iceman to top the 30-goal mark since Daniil Tarasov (47) and Sean Kuraly (32) did so in 2011-12. The two are now teammates on the Worcester Sharks, San Jose's AHL affiliate.
6. Lost in the offensive onslaught was another typically-solid night in net by Jason Pawloski and the Ice defense. He made 27 saves, with the one goal a difficult-to-stop shot on the power play. As often happens, the Ice defense made it a solid night for the goaltender, as Dubuque managed few scoring chances.
7. The Ice tied Waterloo for first place in the Anderson Cup race. Both teams have 89 points with two games left. The Ice finish at home Friday against Green Bay and travel to Chicago Saturday. Waterloo has a home-and-home with Cedar Rapids this weekend.
8. The nine goals are the most scored by an Ice team since beating Chicago 9-1 on Feb. 25, 2011.
9. Tschantz has an amazing 28.2 shot percentage this season.

What's next
The Ice host Green Bay Friday night at Bankers Life Fieldhouse. Puck drops at 7:05 p.m.
Looking ahead
The playoffs begin April 11-12 at Pan Am Pavilion. Tickets go on sale Friday morning. The first-round foe is still unkown. Muskegon will have a one-point edge on Green Bay and Chicago going into the weekend. The Ice play both of the latter this weekend. Team USA is two points back of Muskegon.
