EDISON, NJ (November 25) – Senior captain DJ Miller (Mount Lebanon, PA) of the University of Connecticut men’s ice hockey team was named the ITECH/Player of the Week by the league office on Monday.
Miller netted a hat trick in UConn’s 3-2 win over second place Holy Cross on Friday night to snap the Crusaders seven-game win streak. Miller netted the first two goals, including one on the power play, in the very first and last minutes of the second period. The eventual game-winner was scored 3:32 seconds into the third stanza to give the Huskies their second straight and third victory of the season.
The Huskies will take the week to prepare for its first game in Division I program history against a nationally ranked team as they travel to Durham, NH on Saturday, November 30 to take on currently No. 1 New Hampshire at the Towse Rink at 7:00 pm.
