Each week three stars from each division are named and awarded five, three and one point respectively for their efforts in that given week.

The two shut-outs were 2-0 over Eskasoni Jan 25 and 1-0 over Membertou in which he turned away all 66 shots he faced in the two games. In two other gams he allowed a single goal apiece when the Scotians recorded two wins over Port Hawkesbury by scores of 2-1 and 3-1. James will receive five dozen eggs from Egg Farmers of Nova Scotia for winning player of the month honours.
Matt Carson of the Scotians finished with 8 points and second place in player of the month standings.
