WCHA Offensive Player of the Week • Eric Walsky, Sr., F, Colorado College
Colorado College right winger Eric Walsky, who scored four goals to lead his No. 2-ranked Tigers to a 7-4 conference victory over visiting league rival North Dakota last Saturday night, is the Red Baron® WCHA Offensive Player of the Week for November 11-17.
A 5-11, 195-pound senior from Anchorage, Alaska, Walsky twice brought Colorado College back from deficits in the game on Nov. 7, scoring a tying power-play goal in the first period and another tying goal in the second period. He then completed his hat trick by scoring the eventual game-winning goal at 14:04 of the second and then added an insurance goal at 8:51 of the third as the Tigers earned a 7-4 win over the Fighting Sioux.
In addition to his four-goal outburst, Walsky also fired 10 shots on goal in the series and earned a +2 plus/minus rating. On the 2008-09 season, he ranks second among his CC teammates in scoring with seven goals, five assists and 12 points in the first 10 games.
