Cleary Sweeps Hockey Awards for Second Straight Week

By WHAC Athletic Communications

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

This week, SID's have chosen Cleary's Bennett Sheppard as the Offensive Player of the Week and teammate Ryan Nickerson as the Defensive Player of the Week.

Sheppard scored four goals on Friday and followed it up with a trio of assists on Saturday in a pair of wins over Rochester Christian. Teammate Nickerson made his season debut, earning a 25-save shutout win to help the Cougars earn the victory and sweep Player of the Week honors for the second-straight week.
