HAMDEN, Conn. - Quinnipiac men's ice hockey continued its 2019-20 awards presentation Thursday as sophomore Zach Metsa (Delafield, Wisconsin) was presented the team's 7th Player Award, as voted on by the program's coaches.
Metsa received the award for the first time in his career after his tremendous sophomore season for the Bobcats that made a big impact on the success of the team.
He broke out for career-highs with five goals, 12 assists, 17 points, 39 blocked shots and posted a +9 plus/minus rating. Metsa played in all 34 games for the Bobcats and committed just one penalty all season.
