ALL NATURAL
- A feat that had not been achieved by a Bobcat since the 2014-15 season, Quinnipiac has recorded a pair of natural hat tricks this season, thanks to Jack Ricketts and Andon Cerbone.
- Ricketts ripped off a four-goal game against Stonehill in which he scored three in a row and then Cerbone followed that up by turning a 3-1 deficit into a 4-3 lead against Colgate en route to a 6-3 victory.
- They are one of five teams in the country to have two hat tricks this season.
VOTE FOR TRAV 2025
- 2024-25 captain Travis Treloar is a 2025 Hobey Baker Award nominee, the organization released on Wednesday morning.
- The Kalmar, Sweden native and second-year Bobcat leads the team with seven power play goals and is one of two Quinnipiac players with 10 tallies on the season, joining Jack Ricketts.
- He currently leads all active NCAA Division I men's players with 24 power play goals and leads a crew of three players with 20 or more to their name in their collegiate careers.
SPECIAL TEAMS, SPECIAL PLAYS, SPECIAL PLAYERS
- Since Nov. 15, the Bobcats have won 11 games, the second-most in the country, with special teams leading the way.
- The Bobcats have killed 48 of 51 penalties taken, dividing out to 93.8 percent, a rate good for second in the country behind Western Michigan's 97.6 percent.
- Quinnipiac has scored on 18 of 60 power-play opportunities, a 30.0 percent clip that is good for fifth in the nation. Overall, the Bobcats convert at a 28.4 percent rate, good for third in the country.
- They are the only team entering the week in the top five nationally of both categories.
VICTOR(Y)
- Junior Victor Czerneckianair is currently putting himself amongst the Bobcats' elite at the faceoff dot this season, winning 58.8 percent of draws entering the weekend.
- That places him second in the ECAC this season and his rate is sixth-best amongst all eligible Bobcat skaters (300 faceoffs or more) since the tracking became available in 2002-03.
