With the men’s hockey team’s season on the line last weekend, tri-captain Aaron Volpatti ’10 led the Bears to an upset triumph over Rensselaer in the first round of the ECAC Hockey Playoffs. Volpatti scored a goal in each of Brown’s three games, bringing his season total to 10 goals, third-best on the team.

Last weekend, his performance earned him ECAC Hockey Player of the Week honors — and now, Herald Athlete of the Week honors too.
