Gallagher Named Hockey East Rookie of the Week

January 10, 2022 | Men's Ice Hockey

AMESBURY, Mass. - Freshman Ty Gallagher of the Boston University men's ice hockey team has been named Hockey East Rookie of the Week, the league announced on Monday.

Gallagher was terrific at both ends of the ice in the Terriers' weekend sweep of Arizona State at Agganis Arena. On Friday, Gallagher lit the lamp and blocked two shots in a 7-1 win over the Sun Devils. The next night, Gallagher opened the scoring for the Terriers and blocked an additional two shots in a 5-2 triumph. He finished the weekend as a team-best plus-4 while also extending his point streak to three games.

This is the third weekly honor for Gallagher, who was named Hockey East Rookie of the Week on Oct. 25 and Hockey East Defender of the Week on Dec. 13. Gallagher enters Friday's contest at UConn with 11 points thanks to four goals and seven assists. He also leads all league freshmen and is tied for eighth overall in Hockey East with 24 blocked shots.
