UMD Bulldogs "ALLETE" Moments: Competition
Throughout this year, UMD Athletics is partnering with Minnesota Power, ALLETE to highlight the Bulldogs accomplishments in the 3 C's: Classroom, Competition, Community. 


For a second time this season, University of Minnesota Duluth men's hockey freshman forward Max Plante has been named the National Collegiate Hockey Conference's Rookie of the Week after his three point performance against Colorado College.


The native of Hermantown, Minn., Plante had an assist in Friday night's setback to the Tigers before scoring the Bulldogs opening goal on the power play and added an assist in UMD's 4-1 win Saturday night. Plante, who was +1 on the weekend with four shots, has notched a point in his last six games for the Bulldogs. Over that span, Plante compiled five goals and four assists for nine points, and three of those games have been multiple point efforts. Plante has also scored at least a goal in five of his last six skates.


UMD has now had seven NCHC Player's of the Week this season, including four Rookie of the Week honors, which includes goaltender Klayton Knapp, who picked up the award just last week.


Plante and the Bulldogs will host the No. 5 University of Denver this weekend at AMSOIL Arena. The Friday-Saturday series will get underway at 7:07 p.m. Friday night.
