In perhaps the most thoughtless selection process of the season, Boston College was awarded Hockey East's Team of the Week award. The Eagles, who had been 3-4-0 in their previous seven games, swept a two-game set with third-ranked Maine at Conte Forum, outscoring Hockey East's best scoring team 8-1 over the two games.
They did it on the strength of stellar work by senior goaltender John Muse, who got the Pure Hockey Defensive Player of the Week mention for the second time this season and the first time since the opening weekend of the year.
Meanwhile, across town, Northeastern freshman Rob Dongara was awarded the Pro Ambitions Rookie of the Week award for his effort in a three-point weekend for the Huskies, including an assist on Wade MacLeod's game-winner Saturday night at Matthews Arena.
Northeastern and BC weren't the only teams to have strong weekends, though. Merrimack took four points from Umass-Lowell in a sweep of their weekend series, and junior Jesse Todd was awarded for his efforts by being named Athletic Republic Co-Player of the Week. Todd, whose first collegiate hat trick on Friday night boosted the Warriors to a 4-3 win over Lowell, shared the honors with UNH's Paul Thompson. Thompson totaled five points on the weekend, scoring two of the Wildcats' goals on Friday in helping UNH topple BU - the Terriers' first defeat of the season - and added a goal and an assist on Saturday when BU exacted revenge back at Agganis Arena.
