He earned his first career CCC Goaltender of the Week award on November 28, 2016 after backstopping the Golden Bears to the Rutland Herald Invitational title and claiming Tournament MVP honors.
Western New England (8-9-2, 3-8-1 CCC), which is 4-0-1 over its last five games and now sits in eighth place in the CCC standings following its sweep of Johnson & Wales, returns to action on Thursday at Wentworth.
