AMHERST, Mass. - Following his contributions to Massachusetts hockey's win at Stonehill last Friday, freshman forward Václav Nestrašil has been tabbed Co-Hockey East Rookie of the Week, the league office announced on Monday. The honor marks the third for a member of the Minutemen this season and the first of Nestrašil's career.
In the 4-1 victory over the Skyhawks at Warrior Arena last week, Nestrašil registered a hat trick, which included two power-play goals. The three tallies came on seven shots for the Prague, Czechia, native, a team high. His performance marked the first hat trick by a UMass freshman since 2015 and he currently has four goals in three games to begin his collegiate career.
