INCH Player of the Week
Presented by The College Hockey Marketplace at SportDesigns.com


Senior | Defenseman
Bloomington, Minn.

TOM GILBERT
Wisconsin

His Statistics: 2 GP, 2-3—5

His Impact: While it's tough to single out any Badger from their impressive sweep of Colorado College, it can't hurt to start with the guy who his coach considers one of, if not the best defenseman in the nation. Gilbert has done it all at both ends of the rink for the Badgers, a trend that continued with a goal Friday night and four points (1-3—4 on Saturday). Meanwhile, he and his teammates held the high-scoring Tigers to three goals on the weekend as Wisconsin cruised to a 3-2 and 9-1 sweep on the road.

His Runners-Up: Joe Fallon (Vermont), Grant Goeckner-Zoeller (Princeton), Jeff Lerg (Michigan State), Bruce Mulherin (Alabama-Huntsville), Les Reaney (Niagara), Mike Teslak (Michigan Tech)
