Connecticut Jr. Rangers forward Dominic Powell has been named the USPHL Premier Performance Player of the Week for Nov. 2-8, 2026, earning a $500 performance payout through the league’s Performance Pays initiative.

The San Jose, California, native recorded 10 goals and two assists for 12 points in two games, helping the Rangers earn consecutive victories. Powell scored four goals in his first appearance before delivering a six-goal, eight-point performance to close the award week.

Powell opened Nov. 5 with four goals in a 7-4 victory, including two on the power play. He followed Nov. 7 with six goals and two assists in an 11-4 road win, contributing to eight of the Rangers’ 11 goals. Two of his six goals came shorthanded.

Across the two victories, Powell scored 10 of Connecticut’s 18 goals and averaged six points per game. His production included four special-teams goals, with two on the power play and two while shorthanded.

Powell’s season statistics list 27 goals and seven assists for 34 points in 15 appearances with the Connecticut Jr. Rangers, along with three goals in two additional games with CJR. Combined, those totals give him 30 goals and seven assists for 37 points across 17 USPHL Premier appearances.

The Performance Player of the Week award recognizes one USPHL Premier player each week, regardless of position or division, through a vote by the league’s media panel. It is separate from the League Office’s Stars of the Week selections, which recognize a forward, defenseman and goaltender from each division and do not include a cash award.

Performance Pays continues in 2026–27, with the USPHL Premier program providing $500 weekly awards over 20 weeks. The initiative also rewards championship success, season award recipients and standout postseason performers.
