E-Rod named Hockey Co-Player of the Week

With a goal in both weekend games against BC, sophomore Evan Rodrigues was named Hockey East co-Player of the Week. Making the top performers list were Matt Grzeyck, Cason Hohmann, Wade Megan and Matt O’Connor.

Terriers moved up again in the national rankings, now tied for 7^th in the USCHO poll. And they moved up a notch in the USA Today/USA Hockey Magazine poll to 9^th.  BU’s next opponent, New Hampshire took over the top spot in both polls, so on Thursday for the third consecutive game, BU will face the nation’s top-ranked team.

Looking ahead

2013 recruit Kevin Duane scored a goal and an assist in his second game with the Junior Bruins and has 3+1 in the two games. 

Looking back

On the road again: Last week we reported that Chris Higgins had joined the ECHL Utah Grizzlies. Hope he didn't unpack. After two games, Higgins was traded to the Wheeling Nailers and will be playing former Terrier standout, Coach Clark Donatelli.

Adam Clendening scored his 4^th of the season in Rockford’s 4-1 win against Charlotte.

Alex Chiasson’s shootout goal was the game-winner in AHL Texas’ 4-3 win against Peoria.  Chiasson, top scorer for BU last season, also added an assist.

Women’s Team

Marie Philip Poulin’s third career hattrick and a pair of assists in the Terriers’ sweep of Providence earned the BU co-captain Hockey East Player of the Week honors.  BU was also named WHEA Team of the Week and had four players on the top performers lists, Jenelle Kohanchuk (50^th career goal), Sarah Lefort (5 assists), Isabel Menard (2 GWGs)  and Kerrin Sperry (46 saves,  50^th career win).

Terriers remained 7^th in the USCHO poll, but are in a tie for third in the Pairwise Rankings.
