MATT BECA
Clarkson

His Statistics: 2 GP, 2-4—6, +5 rating, short-handed goal, one Cleary Cup.

His Impact: Beca's six point weekend at Cheel helped the Clarkson Golden Knights clinch the Cleary Cup, awarded to the regular season champion of ECAC Hockey.

He started the weekend by scoring the game's first goal against Princeton on Friday, and then assisted on the next two as Clarkson pulled even at 3-3 before eventually winning in the third period. That victory clinched the league title, and the gravy came on Saturday when Beca had a goal and two assists in an 8-0 rout of Quinnipiac.

The sophomore also took over Clarkson's scoring lead with 32 points on the season and the Knights seem to be finding their scoring touch just in time for a postseason run.

His Runners-Up: Justin Abdelkader, Michigan State; Ryan Cramer, Bemidji State; Luke Flicek, Army; J-P Lamoureux, North Dakota; Mike Potacco, UMass Lowell
