COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – Western Michigan freshman forward Ryan McAllister has been named the JK Branding National Collegiate Hockey Conference Rookie of the Week for his performance in WMU's win over No. 18 Northeastern.
 
This is the fourth time this season the London, Ontario, native has earned the honors. IN the 6-4 win over the Huskies he finished with three assists and had a plus/minus of +2. McAllister notched his first assist on WMU's opening goal scored by Jason Polin. He then set up a goal by Zak Galambos to give the Broncos a 3-1 lead midway through the second period. His third and final assist came on the game-winning power play goal by Max Sasson.
 
McAllister's performance extended his point streak to nine games, tallying four goals and 17 assists during the stretch. He now leads the nation with 29 points on seven goals and 22 assists in 16 games.
 
McAllister and the Broncos are back on the road this weekend, resuming NCHC play at Omaha on Friday and Saturday. Both games are slated for 8:07 p.m. puck drops and can be watched live on NCHC.tv and listened to live on the Bronco Media Network. WMU returns home on Dec. 9-10 to host North Dakota.
