*These are my selections; ECAC Hockey’s can be found here.<\/a><\/p>\n Player of the Week:<\/strong> Brandon DeFazio, Clarkson<\/p>\n DeFazio led by example against SHU, scoring the hat trick – including a much-needed power-play goal and the game-winner – and adding an assist with a plus-3 rating in Clarkson’s rout. One of the Golden Knights’ assistant captains, the Oakville, Ontario native leads the team in goals (nine), assists (eight) and points (17) through 17 games.<\/p>\n Honorable mention:<\/em> Jeremy Welsh, Union (3-2-5 vs. AIC and Army); Kelly Zajac, Union (1-4-5, +3); Chris Cahill, Yale (2-0-2, +1 vs. Vermont); Wayne Simpson, Union (0-5-5, +3); Derrick Pallis, Princeton (2-2-4, +5 vs. UML); Brodie Zuk, Princeton (0-4-4, +3); Chase Polacek, Rensselaer (1-2-3 vs. BU); Francois Brisebois, Colgate (2-1-3 vs. Niagara); Scott Freeman, Clarkson (1-2-3, +4); Nick Tremblay, Clarkson (1-2-3, +1); Kurtiss Bartliff, Colgate (0-3-3, +2); Adam Estoclet, Dartmouth (2-0-2 vs. Vermont); Nick Walsh, Dartmouth (2-0-2)<\/p>\n Rookie of the Week:<\/strong> Daniel Carr, Union<\/p>\n Carr appears in the RotW slot once more thanks to three goals and two assists on the weekend. Friday’s opener against AIC found the product of Sherwood Park, Alberta with two assists, including one on the advantage. Against Army on Saturday, Carr potted a PPG in each period for his seventh, eighth and ninth goals of his young Union career. He is currently second on the team in goals and points (19), but he leads all ECAC freshmen in overall goals and points.<\/p>\n Honorable mention:<\/em> Mat Bodie, Union (1-5-6, +3); Andrew Ammon, Princeton (hat trick, +2 vs. UML Friday); Matt Farris, Princeton (2-1-3, +1 vs. UML Saturday)<\/p>\n Goalie of the Week:<\/strong> Ryan Rondeau, Yale<\/p>\n Rondeau claims the crown for the second week in a row by virtue of his second shutout in a row, this one a 32-save gem against Vermont in New Haven. His save percentage is up to .935 for the year – good for fourth in the nation – and the senior’s 1.70 goals-against average is third in the country (behind two other ECAC backstops, Princeton’s Sean Bonar and Dartmouth’s James Mello).<\/p>\n
