Melnick named NCHC Rookie of the Week
After netting two goals against No. 3 St. Cloud State University last weekend, Miami freshman forward Josh Melnick was named the National Collegiate Hockey Conference’s Rookie of the Week. It is the first time Melnick has won the award.
He netted Miami’s first goal in both games as the RedHawks split their weekend series with the Huskies. Both of his tallies tied the score, and his goal on Saturday started a three-goal outburst in the second period of its 3-2 victory.
Melnick ranks second on the team this season with 18 points (eight goals, 10 assists).
