FARMINGTON HILLS, Mich. -- Yale junior forward Broc Little is
the Hockey Commissioners’ Association National Division I
Player of the Month for February.
During the month of February, Little registered 10 goals and six
assists for 16 points to lead the No. 6 Bulldogs to a 7-1-0 record
and a first-place finish in ECAC Hockey (15-5-2). He also recorded
six multiple-point games and three multiple-goal games in eight
February contests. Little currently leads the nation in goals (25),
goals-per-game (.82) and game-winnners (7). He was named first-team
All-ECAC Hockey after finishing the regular season with 31 points
in league play, which was good for third place.
Little, a Rindge, N.H., native, who played at Cushing Academy
before joining the Bulldogs, registered a seven-point weekend in
the pair of home wins over St. Lawrence (Feb. 19) and Clarkson
(Feb. 20). He opened his current four-game scoring streak with two
assists and an empty-net goal as Yale took down the Saints, 7-5,
and followed that performance with three goals, including the
overtime game-winner, and an assist as the Bulldogs came back from
a 4-1 deficit to beat the Golden Knights, 5-4. Little’s other
multiple-point efforts came in wins over Dartmouth on Feb. 5
(2-0-2), Harvard on Feb. 6 (1-1-2), Colgate on Feb. 12 (2-0-2) and
Princeton Feb. 26 (1-1-2).
The Hockey Commissioners' Association, in conjunction with the
American Hockey Coaches Association, awards a player and rookie of
the month from October through March. Little is the first Bulldogs
player to win this award.
