Player of the Week

Gunnar Sibley (Monticello, Minn.) - Junior - Forward - New England College
Sibley exploded for five points in a pair of Pilgrim wins over No. 11 Babson and Southern Maine this weekend to close out the regular season. He tallied an assist in NEC's 3-2 win over the nationally ranked Beavers on Friday night before recording a season-high four points against Southern Maine on Saturday. In the 4-2 win, Sibley was involved on all four Pilgrim goals, scoring a short-handed goal in the first before netting his first career hat trick before the end of the second period. He assisted on the game-clinching score late in the third to cap off a four-point performance.

Goaltender of the Week

Josh Ward (Ottawa, Ont.) - Senior - VTSU Castleton
Ward turned aside a career-high 57 shots. It marked the most saves by a Castleton goaltender since the 2022–23 season, as the Spartans battled Norwich to a 1-1 draw before falling in the shootout Friday night to close out the regular season. The Cadets are the first team outside of the USCHO.com national ranking. 

Rookie of the Week

Kim Hilmersson (Uppsala, Sweden) - Freshman - Forward - Plymouth State

He came up huge on Friday night, playing a part in five of the Panthers’ six goals in a 6-2 win over Southern Maine – scoring twice and adding three assists to finish as a +4.
