HAMDEN, Conn. -- Quinnipiac University Men’s Ice Hockey
Head Coach Rand Pecknold announced that freshman goaltender Nick
Pisellini has taken a temporary leave of absence from the team for
personal reasons. Pisellini cited a family matter for his leave and
has not yet made a decision regarding a return to the Bobcats.
“Nick is going to take some needed time off,” Pecknold
said. “We don’t know when he’ll return to the
team – it could be next semester or possibly next fall. It is
a family matter and we will respect his privacy. We wish nothing
but the best for Nick and his family during this time.”
In his first year with Quinnipiac, Pisellini has started in nine
of the 11 games he has appeared in, posting an impressive 6-2-1
mark. Pisellini is ranked third in NCAA Division I men’s ice
hockey in goals-against average (1.38) and save percentage (.948).
