WEST POINT, N.Y. – After posting his first career shutout, Army’s Jay Clark has been named the Atlantic Hockey Association Goalie of the Week, the league announced on Monday.
A junior from Baudette, Minn., Clark went 1-1-0 and allowed just two goals last weekend against Connecticut, recorded his first shutout and picked up his third assist of the season to earn the weekly honor for the first time this season.
In his first game against the Huskies, Clark turned away 31 shots with nine saves in the first, 10 in the second and 12 in the final period on the way to a 5-0 victory. He picked up the assist on Danny Colvin’s game-winning power play goal as well, giving him three for the season. In a 2-1 loss to Saturday, Clark made 20 saves.
Clark is the second player to be honored by the AHA this season joining Andy Starczewski, the Rookie of the Week for the week ending Nov. 30.
In addition to Clark, Nick Johnson of Sacred Heart was named the Player of the Week and Brett Hartung of Bentley was the Rookie of the Week.
Army is 8-12-4 on the season with a 7-8-3 mark in conference games and will host service academy-rival Air Force Friday and Saturday. Both games at Tate Rink will begin at 7:05 p.m. and are sold out with a limited number of standing room only tickets available by calling 1-877-TIX-ARMY or on-line at www.goARMYsports.com.
