The USPHL has announced that Las Vegas Thunderbirds blueliner Nick Bonaldi is the Pacific Division Premier Defenseman of the Week.

Present for the T-Birds since Day 1 of their USPHL lifetime, the fourth-year Premier defenseman and two-time All-Star is up to his old tricks.

He has posted a goal and four assists for five points so far after a three-game sweep of visiting San Diego to kick off the season.

The 2003-born Vegas native is four points shy of the 100-point mark for his Premier career. 

During his youth hockey days, Bonaldi played for the Arizona Bobcats.
