Fensore Named Hockey East Defender of the Month
January 4, 2023 | Men's Ice Hockey
AMESBURY, Mass. - Senior captain Domenick Fensore of the Boston University men's ice hockey team has been named Hockey East Defender of the Month, the league announced on Wednesday.
Fensore was the best defenseman in the league and perhaps the entire country last month as he led the Terriers to a 4-1-0 December record. He led all league blue liners in goals (4) and points (7) and tallied a league-best three game-winning goals, with two of the three winners coming in the third period or overtime, including a goal in OT to push BU past No. 9 Harvard on Dec. 30. Fensore generated a league-high 26 shots on goal and was the only Hockey East player to average over five shots on goal per game (5.20). He ended the month on a seven game point streak (6g, 4a), scoring a goal in five of those seven contests.
For the season, Fensore has scored a career-high seven goals and added nine assists for 16 points. He played in his 100th career game as a Terrier on Dec. 9 and enters this weekend having totaled 17 goals and 54 assists for 71 points.
This is the third straight month that a Terrier has been named Hockey East Defender of the Month, as freshman Lane Hutson earned that honor in October and November. In addition to this recognition, Fensore was named the league's Defender of the Week on Dec. 5 and Jan. 2.
BU, now up to No. 6 in both national polls, will travel to Arizona State this week for the Desert Hockey Classic. The Terriers will face Air Force on Friday before facing either Michigan Tech or the host Sun Devils the next day.
