Pontarelli named ECAC Hockey Rookie of the Week

by Ryan Fay

Men's hockey freshman Michael Pontarelli was named ECAC Hockey Rookie of the Week on Tuesday.

The forward opened his collegiate career by recording four points in this past weekend's two-game non-conference series against Bowling Green.

In Friday's 3-3 tie, Pontarelli picked up his first two collegiate assists. In Saturday's 5-2 victory, the 19-year-old collected his first two collegiate goals when he scored twice on the power play in the third period to seal the win.

Through two games, the Laval, Quebec native is tied with Kevin Sullivan for the team lead in points with four.

Pontarelli and the #15/16 Dutchmen return to action this weekend for a two-game non-conference home series with Lake Superior State on Oct. 18-19. Both contests are scheduled for a 7:00 p.m faceoff.
