Priskie was honored by the ECAC for the third time in his career, after being selected to the All-Rookie team as a freshman and earning third-team All-ECAC honors as a sophomore. Priskie, who served as the team captain this year as a junior, tallied 11 goals and 14 assists for 25 points through 35 regular-season games leading Quinnipiac defensemen in all three categories. His 11 goals during the regular season led all ECAC Hockey defensemen, while he was also one of only three defensemen in the country to score 11 goals during the regular season.
Of Priskie's 11 goals this season, eight came on the power play, which ranked first in the nation among NCAA Division I defensemen during the regular season and placed him 11th among all skaters. In conference games only, Priskie's six goals led all ECAC Hockey defensemen, while his 16 points rank fourth.
Tufto, who was named one of three finalists for the ECAC Rookie of the Year Award, was Quinnipiac's leader in assists (32) and points (41) during his rookie season. His 32 assists is tops in the nation among freshmen, and he is one of only 26 players in the country in any class who have reached 41 points so far this winter. He has recorded multiple assists in a game 10 times, while his 14 multi-point games lead all freshmen in the country as well.
In addition, Tufto is only the 11th freshman in Quinnipiac history to reach 30 points in his rookie season, and only the fourth to reach the 30-assist plateau. In league play, his 20 assists and 25 points ranked him first among ECAC freshmen.
