Huber recognized as National Player of the Month for March
University of Minnesota freshman forward Ella Huber was named Rookie of the Month for March by the Hockey Commissioners Association. She is the second Gopher to earn a monthly honor from the organization following two awards for senior Taylor Heise as Player of the Month (Nov. & Feb.). Huber's recognition also follows Peyton Hemp's selection by the HCA as National Rookie of the Year.
Huber's goal against Ohio State in the WCHA Final Faceoff title game was the first of her career in the postseason. As noted in the follow-up press release from the U., she also recorded 11 shots, three blocks, and four faceoff wins in three March contests.
Congratulations, Ella!!
