ALBANY, N.Y. -- Colgate senior captain Jesse Winchester (Long Sault, Ont.) and freshman  Brian Day (Danvers, Mass.), and Union senior goaltender Justin Mrazek (Regina, Sask.) were honored as the season's first player, rookie and goaltender of the week, respectively, Monday by ECAC Hockey.

Winchester earns the first Player of the Week award of his career following a weekend in which he contributed two goals and two assists in a Raiders' sweep of Sacred Heart and RIT. Winchester scored the fourth goal and assisted on the fifth in the 6-2 win versus the Pioneers Friday. Against the Tigers Saturday, Winchester netted Colgate's first power-play goal of the year to give the Raiders a 1-0 lead, and assisted on his team's third goal.

Day scored three goals in his first two collegiate games, including the game-winner both nights. On Friday, Day gave Colgate a 3-1 lead against Sacred Heart late in the first period with his first career goal. The next night versus RIT, he scored midway through the second period to give the Raiders a 4-2 lead, and netted the winning goal late in the third period on a 5-on-3 power play. Day led Colgate with six shots on goal versus the Tigers.

Mrazek earns his second career goaltender of the week award for his efforts in leading the Dutchmen to a sweep of visiting Ferris State. Mrazek compiled 43 saves and allowed just one goal in guiding Union to 2-0 and 4-1 triumphs to open the season. He earned his fifth career shutout Friday with an 18-save performance, and followed that outing by stopping 25 shots to complete the weekend sweep. Surprisingly, Mrazek's previous weekly honor came in October 2006 after he made 76 saves in a season-opening sweep at Ferris State.
