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


Freshman | Goaltender
Des Peres, Mo.

BEN BISHOP
Maine

His Statistics: 2 GP, 51 saves, 2 GA

His Impact: Seems like good goaltending and the University of Maine go hand in hand, doesn't it? Newcomer Bishop appears to be the latest in the long line of standouts from Dunham and Snow to Morrison and Howard. The 6-foot-7 backstop has been particularly sharp during the Black Bears' recent 7-1-1 stretch – he's been in net for all but one of those wins and has allowed one goal in each of his last five starts, including both ends of a sweep of Hockey East-leading Boston College at Alfond Arena last weekend.

His Runners-Up: Cole Koidahl (Connecticut), Jordan Parise (North Dakota), Justin Pesony (St. Lawrence), Brian Reese (Air Force), Josh Sciba (Notre Dame)
