Jack Hillier received an honorable mention by assisting on Rivelli’s game winner on Friday, before a 4 point explosion on Saturday with 2 goals and 2 assists.
“It was another impressive offensive weekend for Dom. He has continued his strong play throughout the season and it has been a huge part of our offensive attack,” said Head Coach and General Manager Craig Doremus. He continued, “Dom’s leadership off the ice and production on the ice have been a huge part of our recent string of strong play. Dom is a pleasure to work with each day and he is going to be a huge part of the UMass-Lowell culture next year. We are proud of him and look forward to him continuing to lead our team on and off the ice.”
