King’s College freshman forward Jack Cooper has been named the UCHC Rookie of the Week.

Cooper recorded five points on three goals, including two power-play goals and a game-winning goal, and two assists to lead King’s to a 1-1 record.

He began the weekend with two goals and one assist on four shots as the Monarchs battled Wilkes on Friday. Cooper assisted on a goal and scored twice in the third period as the Monarchs battled back from a 5-2 deficit.

On Saturday, the Santa Cruz native assisted on the game-tying goal in the second period before scoring the game-winning goal in overtime of a 3-2 victory over Albertus Magnus. The victory over the Falcons was the first-ever on home ice for the Monarchs.

During his youth hockey days, Cooper skated for the San Jose Jr. Sharks.
