Josh Jooris |
This trio almost single-handedly won the Whitelaw Cup for the Dutchmen, accounting for seven of Union's nine goals over the weekend. When this line is clicking, it is one of the most lethal combos in the league and the country.
Jooris led the way with six points on the weekend. On Friday against Colgate, he assisted on Union's first goal early in the first period. He then scored the eventual game-winner on the power-play in the latter half of the second period. The Burlington, Ontario native then played a big role in pulling away from the Raiders in the final frame with two assists. In the championship game, Jooris picked up an assist on the eventual game-winning goal, before sealing the deal with his third empty-net goal of the season.
Daniel Carr |
Classmate Daniel Carr led the Dutchmen with three goals in Atlantic City. He put Union on top 1:35 into the Colgate game with a long shot that beat Eric Mihalik. The Sherwood Park, Alberta native then added a huge insurance goal while shorthanded early in the third period. Carr leads the Dutchmen with three shorthanded tallies. He then came up big for the Dutchmen in the championship game when he tapped in the game-winning goal, and assisted on Jooris' empty-netter. His four point weekend helped him set a career-high with 38 points.

Alex Killorn |
Even though the Crimson did not win the championship, their top player still had a great weekend. He scored Harvard's second and fifth goals and added an assist in Harvard's 6-1 win over Cornell. The following night he scored Harvard's only goal against Union. Killorn was also named to the All-ECAC First Team at the Thursday night banquet. The Montreal native finished the season leading the team in goals (23), points (46), and power-play goals (9), all of which are career highs.
Honorable Mention:
Troy Grosenick (Union): 28 saves vs. Colgate; 16 saves vs. Harvard
Marshall Everson (Harvard): 2g vs. Cornell; 1a vs. Union
Colin Blackwell (Harvard): 4a vs. Cornell
* The Union guys will all receive two points, while Killorn will receive one.
