Last season he earned CCM First Team All-American status with 38 points (10G, 28A). He was MVP of the Beanpot (video), scoring two goals including the overtime game-winner. This season, despite missing eight games due to injuries, he has 22 points (10G, 22A). (Grzelcyk bio).

Rodriguez was assistant captain and the second leading scorer (61 points; 21G, 40A) for the Terriers 2015 national runner-up squad.  ERod earned second team Hockey East All-Star honors and was named Most Outstanding Player in the NCAA Northeast Regional tournament. He signed a free-agent contract with the Buffalo Sabres and is playing his first pro season with the Sabres’ AHL affiliate, Rochester.
