The junior helped Union go unbeaten in eight February games (7-0-1), a stretch which saw the third-ranked Dutchmen win their third Cleary Cup in the last four seasons.

Ciampini scored a goal in six straight games and compiled a seven game point streak during February. He was the league's top goal scorer during the month with seven tallies, including a shorthanded marker and a game-winner. His 11 points ranked second, while his plus-9 rating was tied for first.

Overall, the Concord, Ontario native has 17 goals and 14 assists in 33 games this season. The 17 goals are tied with teammate Daniel Carr and St. Lawrence's Jeremy Wick for fifth most in the league.

Ciampini is the second Union player to earn ECACH Player of the Month honors this season. Carr, who won it for December, is the other.
