BOSTON - Atlantic Hockey America (AHA) announced its Players of the Week on Tuesday for games played between Oct. 27-Nov. 2.
Four programs were represented, with two first-time weekly honorees.
Forward:
Tanner Kimpke, JR, Robert Morris (Calgary, Alberta)
Defenseman: Mack Oliphant, SR, Holy Cross (Northbrook, Ill.)
Goaltender: Jakub Krbecek, SO, RIT (Prague, Czech Republic)
Rookie: Owen Goodbrand (F), FR, Bentley (Waterdown, Ontario)
Klimpke tied for the AHA lead in goals last week and tallied three points (3G). He is one of five Colonials to pot five goals in a single week, going back to 2019-20. This is the seventh week in Klimpke's collegiate career that the forward has scored at least twice.
The Calgary, Alberta native netted his third collegiate game-winning goal on Friday, Oct. 31, in a 4-2 win, tying him for the most among active Colonials. Klimpke's three goals are the most through his first six games played in a season.
The Robert Morris captain has earned two AHA weekly honors throughout his three seasons.
Oliphant earns his first AHA weekly honor after he recorded two points (1G-1A) in two games played last week.
The Northbrook, Ill. native is the only Holy Cross blueliner to score on the man advantage this season, after he found the back of the net on the power play for the second time in his career.
Krbecek tied for the AHA lead last week (min. 33% of team's minutes played) with a 1.00 goals-against average and finished second in the conference with a .957 save percentage.
The Prague native helped RIT to a 5-2-0 record, allowing only two goals on 42 shots faced, and played a critical role in both games of its sweep at Colgate.
This is the 6-foot-2, 198-pound netminder's first Goaltender of the Week award. However, the reigning AHA Goaltender of the Month was named Rookie of the Week three times in 2024-25.
Among freshmen, Goodbrand was tied for the national lead in goals (3) last week, doing so through two games. The Waterdown, Ontario native is one of two AHA freshmen to score three goals in a single week this season (
Maxim Muranov, Niagara).
The 6-foot-2, 195-pound forward potted his first two career goals in the same contest, in a 3-1 victory against Mercyhurst in Erie, Pa.
Goodbrand is one of four Bentley freshmen to find the back of the net three times in a single week since 2020.
