Here is this week’s Great Falls Americans Frontier Division Star of the Week that ended on October 19, 2025. Each week each division has Stars of the Week from their previous week. 

 

The North American 3 Hockey League (NA3HL) gives out a “Stars of the Week” award each week of the regular season. The awards, sponsored  by Bethel University, for the week ending October 19, 2025, are given to the top performing players in each of the six divisions (Central, East, Frontier, South, Southeast and West) of the North American 3 Hockey League (NA3HL) that are nominated by their head coaches for their outstanding on-ice contributions. 

Cooper Clouse and the Great Falls Americans split their weekend, defeating the Badlands Sabres before falling just short in an overtime battle against the Gillette Wild.

During Friday’s 6-2 win over the Sabres, second-year forward Clouse delivered his best performance of the season, recording his first multi-goal game.Clouse jumpstarted the offense with the Americans’ first and third goals, including the eventual game-winner, and added two helpers down the stretch to complete a dominant four-point night.

Saturday’s matchup with Gillette was a back-and-forth thriller, with both teams trading goals throughout. Clouse helped swing the momentum with a power-play assist to even things at 2-2 late in the second, then came up big once more, burying the game-tying goal with less than two minutes left to force overtime.

After a weekend of standout play, Head Coach Greg Sears reflected on Cooper’s early-season impact and his growing role as a leader on the team: “Coop had a really strong weekend and continues to build on a solid start to the season. As a veteran, he’s done a great job stepping into more of a leadership role and setting the standard for how we want to play. He leads by example both on and off the ice, and the younger guys feed off that energy.”
