DANBURY, Conn. – First-year Luke Garry was named the Rookie of the Week presented by Just Play, and junior Will Felicio earned defender of the week honors following the Union College men's hockey team's 7-1 win over Alaska Fairbanks, the ECAC Hockey conference office announced on Monday morning.

Garry registered three points, including his first collegiate goal, and Felicio tacked on two assists as Union improved to 2-0 on the young season. Garry's first goal of the night came in the second period against Alaska, breaking a 1-1 tie and serving as the game-winner. He then assisted on senior Tyler Dunbar's power-play goal to put Union up 3-1 and scored again in the third period. 

Both of Felicio's assists came in the third period as Union pulled away from the visiting Nanooks during the Garnet Chargers' home-opener at M&T Bank Center. Felicio set up Garry for his third-period score then assisted on a power-play goal from junior Connor Smith. Felicio tallied his second multi-assist game in a Union uniform and has scored at least one point in each of Union's first two games this year. 

Felicio was also a part of the Union defense that held Alaska to just one goal following the Nanooks' 3-2 victory over #11 Boston College on Friday night. He also earned the first weekly award of his career as a member of the Union's men's hockey team. The Holden, Mass. native was previously honored as the Big Ten Third Star of the Week on Feb. 4, 2025 while at Michigan.

Next up, Garry, Felicio, and the Garnet Chargers host Providence on Friday, Oct. 16 at 7 p.m.
