2014 Clarkson – Minnesota- #26 Jamie Lee Rattray is proud of her school; Copyright 2014 Angelo Lisuzzo (Angelo Lisuzzo)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Numbers can only reveal so much. Yes, Jamie Lee Rattray’s 66 points, coming from 29 goals and 37 assists in 41 games, was the highest point total in the country.<\/p>\n

The most telling of those numbers was the 41 games. That was the highest number of contests in a season for Clarkson, because for the first time in its history, it reached the final game.<\/p>\n

Shannon Desrosiers, one of the team’s co-head coaches, earlier referred to Rattray as the team’s heartbeat, and said, “I think we go as she goes.”<\/p>\n

Rattray just kept going, right through the NCAA tournament. She had three assists in the team’s 3-1 quarterfinal win over Boston College. She had two more helpers as the Golden Knights breezed past Mercyhurst in the semifinal by a 5-1 count. Rattray scored a goal and added an assist in the 5-4 defeat of Minnesota in the championship. For the tournament, she was plus-6.<\/p>\n

Over the course of her college career, she rewrote the Clarkson record book with 181 points, 77 goals, and 104 assists.<\/p>\n

“I think it’s something that you don’t really think about while you’re playing,” she said when I spoke to her back in January. “I never really thought about that kind of stuff when I came in.”<\/p>\n

Instead, she focused on improving and helping her team win. The defensive side of her game may have been a weak point as a freshman, but it was no longer the case during her senior season.<\/p>\n

“It’s definitely a part of my game I needed to work on,” Rattray said. “I have matured a lot more throughout my four years. Now I find that the defensive game is going to bring more offensively.”<\/p>\n

As the work honed her defensive game and grew her offensive production, it also upped the most meaningful statistic of all, Clarkson’s win total. The Golden Knights won 31 times.<\/p>\n

“I think if we just keep playing consistent and playing together and we use our depth on our team, I think we’re going to be very successful,” she said early in 2014. “I can’t wait to see it and see what the road has in store for us.”<\/p>\n

The road ultimately brought more success than she may have even imagined, including a whole bunch of firsts for her team: first 30-win season, first ECAC Hockey season title, first win in an NCAA tournament game, first NCAA Frozen Four, and first NCAA Championship.<\/p>\n

Rattray herself was named the player of the year in the ECAC, the Most Outstanding Player at the 2014 Frozen Four, and the winner of the 2014 Patty Kazmaier Award.<\/p>\n

Today, we recognize her as the USCHO player of the year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
