MSU freshman forward Tyler Thompson earned WCHA rookie of the week honor for his one-goal, one-assist performance in last weekend's split with Colorado College. Thompson scored the game-winning goal in Friday's 2-1 victory.
He shared the honor with North Dakota goalie Brad Eidsness. The WCHA actually honored five players this week, with Wisconsin's Blake Geoffrion earning offensive player of the week and Minnesota's Alex Kangas and St. Cloud State's Jase Weslosky sharing defensive honors.
That seems a little excessive, doesn't it, considering it already gives out three awards per week? Three goalies are getting awarded this week. At some point the player of the week award loses a little luster.
