Two members of the Hobart College hockey team were honored by the ECAC West as announced by the conference office late yesterday. Senior forward Tommaso Traversa (Torino, Italy) was tabbed the Player of the Week and junior Lino Chimienti (Montreal, Quebec) was selected the Goalie of the Week.
Traversa shared a team-high with three points in a 2-0-0 weekend for the Statesmen in the New Year’s College Hockey Classic in Lake Placid, New York. On Friday in a 6-2 win over Southern Maine, he scored what proved to be the game-winning goal, a short-handed tally, at 7:32 in the second period and then added an assist in the third period. Traversa scored another goal on Saturday in a 4-1 victory over Middlebury. He registered his fifth goal of the year in the second period. Traversa has played all 12 games this year and has notched 10 points. He is tied for seventh in the league in goal scoring.
Chimienti played all 60 minutes in goal in Hobart’s win over the Panthers. He turned aside 27 of the 28 shots he faced on Saturday night. Chimienti’s save total is his second highest of the year. He is sporting a 2.86 goals against average, a .902 save percentage and a 3-3-0 record in goal this year.
