Kocur and Johnson win Weekly Honors

The Wolverine-Hoosier Athletic Conference (WHAC) has announced its Ice Hockey Player of the Week Awards, presented by PCC Sports, earlier today. Student-athletes are nominated by their host institutions' sports information department and selected via a vote by conference SID's.

This week, the WHAC SIDs have chosen Cleary's Liam Kocur as the Defensive Player of the Week and Aquinas' Alex Johnson as the Offensive Player of the Week. Kocur showed up large for Cleary in a come-from-behind 4-2 win over Lawrence Tech on Saturday. He surrendered two power play goals but then settled in and sent away 38 shots, saving .950% of shots, to pick up his seventh win of the season. Alex Johnson helped Aquinas to a 2-0 week with a two goal, four assist effort. He had a goal and an assist on Friday and followed it up with three assists and a goal on Saturday. This is the first weekly honor for both Kocur and Johnson this season.
