CCC MEN'S ICE HOCKEY WEEKLY AWARDS RELEASE
BEVERLY, Mass. – Endicott men's ice hockey student-athletes Josh Bowes (Edmonton, Alberta), Kevin Aldridge (Birmingham, Mich.), and Jason Kalinowski (Stamford, Conn.) have all earned weekly awards from the Commonwealth Coast Conference (CCC) for their efforts in games played from January 23-29. Bowes was named the CCC Player of the Week, while Aldridge claimed Goaltender of the Week accolades, and Kalinowski earned Rookie of the Week honors. It is the second time this season the Gulls have swept the CCC men's ice hockey weekly awards.
PLAYER OF THE WEEK
Bowes played a major role in No. 13/12 Endicott's 2-0 week as the Gulls solidified their place as one of the top teams in the CCC. Bowes opened the week with a career-high four points (two goals, two assists) in a 6-2 conference victory over Nichols. He followed that up with two more goals and another assist in a 9-1 rout of Salve Regina on Saturday (Jan. 28). Two of the sophomore's goals, one in each game, came shorthanded. The Endicott forward also registered a goal on the power play and finished the week with a plus-six rating.
GOALTENDER OF THE WEEK
Aldridge posted wins in both of Endicott's conference victories this week. First he made a season-high 42 stops against Nichols in a 6-2 win. He followed that up with 25 saves in a 9-1 decision over Salve Regina. For the week, Aldridge posted a .957 save-percentage and a 1.50 goals-against average.
ROOKIE OF THE WEEK
Kalinowski had a six-point week, including the first-ever hat trick in program history, as the Gulls earned two big conference wins. First, Kalinowski offered up an assist in his team's 6-2 victory over Nichols. He then tied the Endicott single-game points record with three goals and two assists in the Gulls' 9-1 win over Salve Regina.
