January 05, 2017 | Men's Ice Hockey
WAKEFIELD, Mass. - Princeton sophomore forward Max Véronneau who led the Tigers to a 5-2-0 record last month, which included the program's first five-game win streak since the 2010-11 season, was named the Hockey Commissioners' Association National Division 1 Player of the Month for December.
The 6-0, 180 pound sophomore Véronneau finished the month as the Division I leader in assists (10), power-play goals (4) and points (16), while ranking fifth in both points per game (2.29) and shots on goal (29); tying for third in plus/minus (+8) and finishing eleventh in assists per game (1.43).
The Ottawa, Ont. native was named the NCAA Star of the Week twice (third star on Dec. 6 and first star on Dec. 13). He also earned ECAC Hockey Player of the Week honors twice in December, while recently being named the league's Player of the Month on Dec. 2 and 3 the first-line forward had a hand in every goal in a loss to No. 18 Union, scoring twice and adding one assist. He had two goals and two assists in a 6-5 overtime win over Rensselaer the next night. The following weekend In a sweep of No. 7 Quinnipiac, Véronneau had three assists in a 5-3 win and two goals and one assist in a 4-1 win. He added an assist in a win over UMass and notched two assists against No. 19 Minnesota State on Dec. 17.
During the month Véronneau helped the Tigers record three wins over ranked teams (Quinnipiac - twice and Minnesota State). Princeton now has five total wins (Bemidji State - twice; Quinnipiac - twice and Minnesota State) over ranked opponents for the first time since the 2008-09 season when they won six (Northeastern, Minnesota State, Nebraska-Omaha, Cornell twice and Yale).
Véronneau, who earns his first-career HCA National Monthly Award, currently leads Princeton in scoring this season with 21 points (1.31 points per game) in 16 games on six goals and 15 assists. He also helped the Tigers earn College Hockey News' Team of the Week on December 14 after home-and-home sweep of nationally-ranked Quinnipiac.
He is the second Princeton Tiger to win the award, joining Andrew Calof '14 who won it in January of 2013.
