KALAMAZOO, Mich. – The National Collegiate Hockey Conference (NCHC) announced its weekly awards this evening, with Alex Bump, Cameron Rowe and Hampton Slukynsky being recognized for their play on the ice this past weekend. 

Bump was named the league's Forward of the Week after producing a goal and an assist in a split with No. 6 Michigan. The Prior Lake, Minn. native handed out an assist in a series opening win before lighting the lamp in the series finale the next night. 

On the season, Bump is up to 10 points on four goals and six assists. The Philadelphia Flyers draft pick is third on the team in points, goals and assists. 

In net, Rowe was selected as the NCHC's top goaltender for the second consecutive week and 10th time in his career. The Wilmette, Ill. native put together a dominant performance against the Wolverines, stopping 26 shots and dishing out an assist on the game-winning goal in a 4-1 victory. Rowe had a 12-save second period en route to his 60th career win. 

Rowe hasn't lost yet this season, owning a 6-0-0 record. To go along with that, he's produced a 1.49 goals against average and .943 save percentage. He is third in the nation in GAA and fifth in save percentage. 

Slukynsky was honored as the conference's Rookie of the Week for the second time this season. He's now won the award twice in the last three weeks. Slukynsky was exceptional against Michigan this past Saturday, making 28 saves in net. 

On the season, the Warroad, Minn. native and Los Angeles Kings draft pick has a 3-2-1 record to go along with a 1.66 GAA and .947 save percentage. He leads the nation in save percentage and is ninth in GAA.
