The Powell River, B.C., native also won rookie honors in November following his shutout of St. Lawrence. Terriers making the top performers list were Cason Hohmann, who leads the nation in plus-minus at +20, Captain Wade Megan, Matt Nieto and Danny O’Regan.

After splitting its two games last week, BU dropped a notch to #9 in both the USCHO and USA Today/USA Hockey Magazine polls.
