Hobey Watch Nov 7


More changes this week in the Hobey Watch that we should get to including a shake up in the Hobey Hat Trick. There is a new top player and some more changes that will be discussed in this edition of the Hobey Watch.

Here are the Hobey Hat Trick players for the week of Nov 7.

Natahan Davis F Miami (JR): A seven point weekend for Davis against Northern Michigan, including a five point night on Friday (3 g, 2 a) put Davis number one for this week. It also helps that Davis has now become the leading scorer in the country and the fact that he is the only player so far with 20+ points in the country bolts him to the top spot which was held last week by Michigan Forward Chad Kolarik.

Season Stats: 9 g, 12 a, 21 p

Ben Bishop G Maine (SO): Bishop moves up one from number three to number two this week. The fact that Bishop has only allowed more than one goal in two games this weekend is amazing. He came up big on the road in the 2-2 tie against Boston University making 29 saves. Bishop is using all of his size (6"7) well and is inching closer to the top spot.

Season Stats: 7-0-1, 1.41 gaa, .942 save pct.

T.J. Hensick F Michigan (SR): After only a one point night against Michigan State on Friday, Henisck and the Wolverines stormed back on Saturday night as Hensick scored a goal and added three assists. Hensick may not be a goal scorer, but he sure knows how to dish out the assists. A second CCHA player will cap off the Hobey Hat Trick.

Season Stats: 4 g, 12 a, 16 p

The rest of the top five

Michel Leveille F Maine (SR): Leveille was in the hat trick last week as the number two guy, but a one point weekend put him out for this week.

Season Stats 6 g, 6 a, 12 p

Jack Johnson D Michigan (SO): After a great Freshman season, Johnson has really improved his game. Although Johnson only had one goal this weekend, he is still making noise around the country as a solid two way player.

Season Stats: 5 g, 3 a, 8 p

This weeks Darkhorse:

David Brown G Notre Dame (SR): For the second week in a row, a CCHA goaltender has been the darkhorse. So far on this years resume, Brown has had some big games, including a 7-1 thrashing of then number one Boston College, where Brown stopped 26 shots on goal. In his last five Brown has only allowed six goals as he and the Irish are off to one of their best starts in school history.

Season Stats: 5-1-1, 1.26 gaa, .950 save pct, 1 shutout.

So there you have it for the Hobey Watch. This weeks games promises to bring excitement, so keep your eyes open for the weekly preview as we will get to all the exciting action in the world of college hockey.
