The week of December 30 - January 5
NCAA
Matt Benning (Northeastern University)
Northeastern drew 8-8 against Dartmouth and won 4-3 against UMass this week. They came from behind in both games, including erasing a 8-4 deficit in the first game. Benning had two assists against Dartmouth. He also, miraculously, was not on the ice for any of Dartmouth's six even strength goals.

Ryan Fitzgerald (Boston College)
BC defeated Notre Dame 4-3 at Fenway Park. Fitzgerald did not register a point, but he is third on the team in goals and fourth in points. Not bad for a freshman.

Zane Gothberg (University of North Dakota)
North Dakota played a couple of exhibitions against Canadian teams, a 3-2 OT loss to British Columbia and a 4-3 win over Simon Fraser. Gothberg got the start both nights and stopped 35 of 41. Here's a nice feature on him from College Hockey News.

Matt Grzelcyk (Boston University)
BU lost to Harvard 7-4. Tough week for Grzelcyk, but he did manage two power play assists in the contest. Nice to see him score for his school. By the way, Corey Pronman has him in the conversation for the WJC all-tournament team.

Ben Sexton (Clarkson University)
Clarkson tied 1-1 and lost 4-3 against UMass-Lowell this week. After picking up four penalty minutes, Sexton's now three minutes back of leading the NCAA in PIM. Here's what Jeff Cox of SB Nation's College Hockey has to say on him:
@seanphathaway yes. He's a hard nosed player, decent skill, could be a good PK guy in Providence, add depth to Bruins organization

Europe
Linus Arnesson (Djurgardens)
Djurgardens aka Animal Gardens aka Mesta Mästarna, Stockholms Stolthet, defeated Mora 4-3 this week. Arnesson, meanwhile, was winning hardware for Sweden. Unfortunately, it wasn't the precise one. No shame in silver.
