U.S.A.F. ACADEMY, Colo. - Air Force junior center Eric Ehn was named the Atlantic Hockey Association Offensive Player of the Week as he helped lead the Falcons to a two-game sweep of AIC in Springfield, Mass., Feb. 23-24.
Ehn, the nation's leading scorer with 60 points in 36 games, broke the AHA record for points in a season in league games with 45. Ehn had five points in the AIC series (2-3-5) and finished the conference regular-season schedule with 16 goals, a league-best 29 assists and a record-setting 45 points.
The product of Dexter, Mich., had three assists, including the helper on Andrew Ramsey's game-winner, on Friday in AFA's 6-2 win at AIC. He then scored two goals on Saturday in the 5-1 win.
He became the first Falcon to score 60 or more points in a season in 27 years. He has scored in four straight games and has 13 points in his last six games.
Air Force, 16-15-5 overall and 13-10-5 in the AHA, is off until March 10 when the fourth-seeded Falcons host the fifth-seeded Holy Cross Crusaders at the Academy's Cadet Ice Arena at 7:05 p.m.
