TAMPA BAY – The Lightning High School Hockey League (LHSHL) today named George Jenkins captain and defenseman Carter Clay the league’s Honda Player of the Month for January and Jesuit goalie Sean Lanoue the league’s Moe’s Southwest Grill Goalie of the Month.

Lanoue dressed in 19 of Jesuit’s 22 games and saw ice time in 12 of them. On top of his outstanding play in the LHSHL last month, he received a 3.0 un-weighted GPA while taking three AP classes and one honors class and is also an All-County golfer for Jesuit.
