Backman Named ECACHL Rookie of the Week

Jan. 8, 2007

Freshman forward Sean Backman (Cos Cob, Conn.) was named ECACHL Rookie of the Week after getting two points in the win over Brown.

Backman's ninth goal of the year cut the Bears' lead to 2-1 in the second period last Saturday in the comeback victory, but his assist was just as big. With the score tied in the third period, the rookie forward beat a defender to a pass from Yale defenseman Bill LeClerc and got enough on a shot that was re-directed in the low slot for the game-winner by Will Engasser.

Backman, the son of a former New York Ranger and New Haven (AHL) Nighthawk Mike Backman, leads Yale with 9-7-16 and is fourth in conference points per game for rookies. He has a point in 12 of the 15 games including a pair of goals against UConn.
