More SCSU Hockey Notes
LAST WEEK: SCSU earned its first series sweep of the 2012-13 season with an impressive 8-3, 4-0 weekend against Alabama Huntsville at the NHEC on Oct. 19-20...this marked the first time since time since Mar. 9-10, 2012 (4-0, 3-1 vs. UNO in the WCHA playoffs) that the Huskies earned two consecutive wins at the NHEC and also marked the first regular season sweep at home since a 4-2, 7-3 sweep of Wisconsin on Feb. 25-26, 2011.
TWO FOR NIC: It was only fitting that Huntsville, Alabama native Nic Dowd score the first goal in both games against Alabama Huntsville for the Huskies. Dowd leads the Huskies this season with 2 goals and 4 assists in four games played.
LOCAL GUY: Hometown hero - rookie defender Ethan Prow grew up in nearby Sauk Rapids, Minn. and was an avid Husky hockey fan. Prow got a chance to step into the spotlight in his first home game for the Huskies as he charted his first two career goals and an assist on Oct. 19 in SCSU's 8-3 win over Alabama Huntsville. Prow starred at Sauk Rapids-Rice H.S. before going on to play junior hockey in the USHL at Des Moines. Prow's older sister Katelyn competed on the nordic ski team at SCSU during her collegiate career.
INTERNATIONAL INPUT: Freshman forward Kalle Kossila, a resident of Finland, played his first collegiate games this weekend against UAH. Kossila replied by scoring an assist on Oct. 19 and a goal and an assist on Oct. 20. Kossila also charted an impressive +5 on the plus/minus ranking over the weekend. The other SCSU player from Finland this season is goalie Rasmus Reijola.
BACK AT SCSU: Husky Productions will welcome former Husky and NHL veteran Mark Parrish to the broadcast booth this weekend vs. Minnesota State.

HUSKY TIDBITS: Senior captain Ben Hanowski leads the team this season with 18 shots on goal. He charted two assists over the weekend against UAH and now has 46 goals and 39 assists during his tenure at SCSU...Freshman David Morley, who was a redshirt at SCSU in 2011-12, continues to impress in 2012-13 with four assists already scored in four games this season. He is a resident of Richmond Hills, Ont... In the two games against Alabama Huntsville, the Huskies outshot the Chargers 80-37. SCSU is now 9-0-0 in the all-time series against UAH...

FIRST WIN: Redshirt freshman goalie Joseph Phillippi gained his first start on Oct. 19. He notched 16 saves in the Huskies' 8-3 win over UAH at the NHEC.
