Dutchmen Details: Zajely Advice

Welcome to the Dutchmen Details, where we scour the internet for Union Hockey related news so you don't have to!

Kelly Zajac: all-time assists leader
and the subject of a terrible pun.

• Congratulations to Wayne Simpson and Shayne Gostisbehere, who won the ECAC player of the week and rookie of the week awards, respectively. 
• Wayne capped a great week with two goals against Colgate and one against Cornell. He also added an assist against the Raiders.
• Gostisbehere, lovingly referred to as "Ghost" by Head Coach Rick Bennett, and "Ghostbuster" by our own Mike Rivkin, continued his stellar freshman campaign. Via UnionAthletics.com: 

On Saturday night against Cornell, Gostisbehere matched a school record for assists in a conference game with four on the night.

The ECAC website has the fancy type and all that jazz

• While we're on the topic of self-promotion, be sure to check out UHB's very own Evan Slavit's Concordiensis articles every week. They provide stellar insights and recaps. Also, we know that he's still floating somewhere in the vicinity of Cloud Nine after his Giants won the Super Bowl. 
• Freshman Mark Bennett may not have been as happy with the outcome. Kevin Sullivan probably felt differently. 
• Hey, we're not done with self promotion. Welcome to our newest member of the team, Mike Rivkin. Check out his recaps from this weekend. He's already gotten more comments than the rest of us. 
• Colin Stevens got some ink in the Times Union after Friday's win against Colgate.
• Ken Schott has some post-game video from Friday  and more from Saturday night.
• Union moves up in the national polls to #11 in both the USCHO.com and USAToday editions. More importantly, Union is now tied for #10 in the Pairwise rankings with Notre Dame. That means, of course, were the season to end today, Union would be in the good graces of the NCAA bid-givers. 
• Union is now 16-6-7 overall and 10-3-4 in ECAC play.
• Boston University is at the top of the rankings. 
• Congratulations again to Senior Kelly Zajac, who passed Adam Presizniuk to become Union's all time assist leader in the Division I era. He also has an 11-game point streak going.
• And oh yeah, he scored that game tying goal to send Messa Rink (filled with 2,507 fans) into a frenzy on Saturday night. Not a bad weekend. 
• And finally, Daniel Carr wins our Tweet of the Day award, Super Bowl edition:
