Soucie Tabbed AHA Player of the Week

After posting a hat trick on Saturday in Army hockey's 8-1 win over Holy Cross, freshman Brendan Soucie was recognized by the Atlantic Hockey Association as the Player of the Week. This is the first time Soucie has been named the Player of the Week as he garnered Rookie of the Week honors on Nov. 1. He is the first freshman of the 2016-17 season to be given a Player of the Week nod over rookie honors, the last being awarded to Dan McLaughlin from Canisius last February. The Cadets picked up four points with two wins over the Crusaders last weekend. The Black Knights defeated Holy Cross 4-2 on Friday and continued their momentum into Saturday's game where they won 8-1. The eight goals on Saturday were the most scored by Army since 2010. The stat sheet featured 14 players with at least a point. Soucie's performance stands out to most though as he posted his first career hat trick while adding an assist in the dominating victory. He is the first Cadet since Maurice Alvarez (2013) to record a hat trick. Read More
