In his freshman season, Alex Newhook totaled 19 goals and 42 points for Boston College (photo: Rich Gagnon).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Boston College freshman forward Alex Newhook has been named the recipient of the 2020 Tim Taylor Award, given annually to the best first-year player in NCAA Division I men\u2019s hockey.<\/p>\n

He is the first BC player to win this award and the seventh from Hockey East in the 14 years of the award.<\/p>\n

The award is voted on by the nation\u2019s assistant coaches and is named for the former Yale and U.S. Olympic Team head coach.<\/p>\n

Newhook finished second among all league players in conference scoring with 15 goals and 18 assists for 33 points in 24 games, while leading the league with a plus-25 rating. His 15 goals were second among all skaters, including four game winners that helped the Eagles to a 17-6-1 record in Hockey East play and the program\u2019s 17th regular-season crown.<\/p>\n

A St. John\u2019s, Newfoundland native, Newhook paced all Hockey East freshmen in goals (15), points (33), points per game (1.38), shorthanded goals (1), game-winning goals (4), and on-ice rating (plus-25.) He was also second in faceoff percentage, going 122-105 at the dot for a 53.7 percent efficiency.<\/p>\n

Newhook, a Colorado Avalanche prospect, finished the regular season riding a 12-game point streak, picking up 10 goals and 13 assists over the span. Overall, Newhook led the Eagles in scoring with 42 points on 19 goals and 23 assists, including a league-best three short-handed markers. His 42 points were seventh in the NCAA among all skaters.<\/p>\n

The runner-up for this year\u2019s award, sponsored by the Hockey Commissioners Association, is Harvard freshman forward Nick Abruzzese.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
