STORRS, CT (December 2) – Jason Carey (Oakdale, MN) and Michael Hoffman (Scituate, MA) both earned weekly ITECH MAAC honors as announced by the league office on Monday.
Carey was named the ITECH MAAC Goalie of the week after his performance against No. 2 nationally ranked New Hampshire on Saturday night. Carey recorded 37 saves in the 3-1 loss. He held the Wildcats scoreless for 29:01 into the game, and then prevented New Hampshire from scoring in the last period of play, stopping 14 shots in the third.
Hoffman, a red-shirt freshman for the Huskies, was named the ITECH MAAC Rookie of the Week. He notched the Huskies lone goal of the game against No. 2 New Hampshire 37-seconds into the second period. He gave the Huskies the lead for just over 10-minutes, in UConn’s first-ever game against a ranked opponent.
UConn will play host to MAAC opponent Army on Friday, December 6 at 7:30 pm at the UConn Ice Arena.
