Chase Polacek has been named the ECAC Hockey Player of the Year for the second straight year, becoming the third player in the 50-year history of the league to be able to make that claim.
"That's sound neat," the Rensselaer senior said Thursday when asked how 'Chase Polacek, two-time ECACH Player of the Year sounds to his ears.
Polacek, who leads ECACH scorers for the second straight year, attended the ECACH Championship Weekend banquet in Atlantic City with RPI head coach Seth Appert where he accepted the award.
Polacek said he was "a little" suprised to win the award again because, "point-wise, I didn't put up the numbers I did last year."
