ROSEMONT, Ill. -- University of Michigan ice hockey freshman forward Kyle Connor (First Star) and senior forward Tyler Motte (Third Star) earned Big Ten weekly honors today (Tuesday, March 15).
Connor extended his Red Berenson-era (since 1984) Michigan record point streak to 23 games with four goals (2 PPG) in two wins against Penn State this past weekend. Connor is the first Michigan freshman to reach the 30-goal mark since Danny Felsner had 30 goals in 1988-89, and the first freshman in college hockey to reach 30 goals since Thomas Vanek (Minnesota) in 2002-03.
