Three Stars (Week 2)

Jeremy Langlois

Here are my Three Stars of the Week:

First Star: Jeremy Langlois - Quinnipiac
In three games against Atlantic Hockey teams, Langlois absolutely dominated the competition. He tallied an assist against Holy Cross on Wednesday, netted a hat trick and added an assist on Saturday at home against Canisius, and scored another power-play goal on Sunday against the Golden Griffins. So, if you're keeping track at home, that's four goals and two assists in three games. His six goals are the most in the country, and his nine points are tied for tops in all of college hockey.


Second Star: Louke Oakley - Clarkson

Louke Oakley

The Golden Knights swept Sacred Heart this weekend where they scored a combined eight goals.... Oakley scored half of them, scoring twice in both contests, half of which came on the power-play. The senior forward is off to a scorching start the 11-12 season. He scored three goals in each of his first three seasons for nine career goals. He eclipsed his season-high in goals this weekend, and has five on the season. The way he's going it could be safe to say that he will score more than nine goals on the year.

Third Star: Kyle Flanagan - St. Lawrence

Kyle Flanagan

The Saints had a pretty terrible time on the road this week, first getting shellacked against Michigan, and then losing in OT at RIT, but Flanagan had two great offensive performances. On Thursday, he scored two of SLU's three goals (both on the power-play), and followed that up with another two goal performance in a 6-5 OT loss in Rochester. He added another power-play goal in that game, along with a shorthanded tally. His eight points on the season is currently tied for third most in the nation.


Even though these three guys are my "Three Stars" I still want to make a shout out to the Colgate Raiders, who I think really made a statement this weekend with a split with #4/#5 Miami. My "Three Stars" is based off of individual performances, but that doesn't mean any of the Raiders didn't have great weekends. Austin Smith scored a goal in each contest (giving him a goal in three straight games), Chris Wagner had a goal and two assists on the weekend, and goaltender Eric Mihalik made a combined 31 saves. We'll see if they can keep up their stellar play heading into their upcoming games with Atlantic Hockey teams before the league games begin.
