With the 2010-2011 Atlantic Hockey regular season in the books, let’s take a look back and see how the coaches and I did in terms of predicting each team’s finish:<\/p>\n
Team<\/td>\n | Actual<\/td>\n | Coaches<\/td>\n | USCHO<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n |
RIT<\/td>\n | 1<\/td>\n | 1<\/td>\n | 1<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n |
Air Force<\/td>\n | 2<\/td>\n | 3<\/td>\n | 3<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n |
Holy Cross<\/td>\n | 3<\/td>\n | 8<\/td>\n | 8<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n |
Niagara<\/td>\n | 4<\/td>\n | T4<\/td>\n | 5<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n |
Robert Morris<\/td>\n | 5<\/td>\n | T4<\/td>\n | 2<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n |
UConn<\/td>\n | 6<\/td>\n | 11<\/td>\n | 11<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n |
Mercyhurst<\/td>\n | 7<\/td>\n | 2<\/td>\n | 3<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n |
Canisius<\/td>\n | 8<\/td>\n | 6<\/td>\n | 6<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n |
Army<\/td>\n | 9<\/td>\n | 9<\/td>\n | 9<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n |
Bentley<\/td>\n | 10<\/td>\n | 10<\/td>\n | 10<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n |
Sacred Heart<\/td>\n | 11<\/td>\n | 7<\/td>\n | 7<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n |
AIC<\/td>\n | 12<\/td>\n | 12<\/td>\n | 12<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n So we all underestimated Holy Cross and UConn, and overestimated Mercyhurst and Sacred Heart. My pick of Robert Morris for second looked good until the final weekend of the regular season, but with just three points separating second from fifth (and seventh from tenth), things indeed did go down to the final games.<\/p>\n USCHO.com AHA Player of the Week:<\/h4>\nPaul Zanette, Niagara – As good a season as the senior has had in general, he probably wishes every game was against RIT. Zanette had four goals last weekend against the Tigers to go with the hat-trick he had in the teams’ first meeting back in November. He has 29 goals in all this season, tops in the nation.<\/p>\n Honorables:<\/strong><\/p>\n Cory Conacher, Canisius – The senior forward factored in all four of the Golden Griffins’ goals last weekend, scoring three times and adding an assist to help Canisius to a split against Mercyhurst.<\/p>\n Eric Delong, Sacred Heart – DeLong had four points (two goals, two assists last Saturday to lead the Pioneers to a 5-1 win over Army and a weekend split.<\/p>\n Jason Torf, Air Force – The rookie stopped 53 of 57 shots to help the Falcons to a pair of 4-2 wins over Robert Morris and a first-round bye the AHA playoffs.<\/p>\n Andrew Olson, Connecticut - Olson had the game winner in both contests last weekend, a pair of one-goal wins over AIC. The senior leads the Huskies with 14 goals so far this season.<\/p>\n And from the home office in Haverhill, here’s your official Atlantic Hockey Players of the Month for February, 2011:<\/p>\n Player of the Month: Paul Zanette – Niagara Goalie of the Month: Rookie of the Month: |
