PRINCETON, N.J.– The ECHL announced Thursday its 2018-19 All-ECHL First and Second Teams, as determined in a vote by the league’s coaches, broadcasters, media relations directors and media. Tulsa Oilers captain Adam Pleskach was selected to the All-ECHL First Team.
Pleskach, 30, leads the league with 37 goals and has matched a career-best 71 points in 69 games, with three games remaining this weekend. The sixth-year Oilers forward has also climbed into second in franchise history for goals (171) and games played (396), and third in points (327).
