March 03, 2020 | Men's Hockey
WAKEFIELD, Mass. – Alex Newhook became the first player to win both the Hockey East Player and Rookie of the Month awards in more than four years on Tuesday. The freshman swept the awards for the first time since Jack Eichel in November of 2015.
Newhook led the nation in February with 20 points, 11 assists, two shorthanded goals and a plus-14 rating. He registered six multi-point outings in nine games, including a five-point night on Feb. 15 in a 6-2 win over Merrimack at Conte Forum.
The Newfoundland native recorded at least one point in all nine outings and ended the month riding a 10-game point streak with 10 goals and 11 assists over that span. On Saturday, he became the first BC rookie since Colin White in 2016 to record 40 points in a single season.
Newhook's linemate and classmate Matt Boldy was second nationally in scoring last month with 16 points and was named the Runner-up for Rookie of the Month.
The fourth-ranked Eagles have won seven games in a row and clinched their 17th Hockey East Regular Season Title on Saturday with a 4-1 road win at Boston University.
Boston College (23-8-1, 16-6-0 HEA) hosts UNH on Friday (March 6) at 7 p.m. on Senior Night at Kelley Rink.
