After earning league rookie of the week honors last week, Hooper was named the CHA defensive player of the week after posting back-to-back 30-save efforts in losses at No. 5/6 Colorado College and No. 10 Denver. Hooper has established himself as the team’s number one netminder, seeing action in each of the team’s last nine games. His 35 and 31-save performances marked the first time in his career he has consecutive 30-save games in a weekend series.

Rookie of the Week

Tuesday, Erickson scored Bemidji State’s lone power-play goal in a 4-3 loss. He followed that by helping to spark a five-goal second-period outburst Friday, scoring a goal and recording two assists in the period.
His power-play goal started the rally and he assisted on Brendan Cook’s game-winning goal.
