Veteran Michigan Tech forward Jordan Baker, who registered a hat trick and five scoring points while leading the hockey Huskies to a two-game conference sweep over visiting Alaska Anchorage last weekend, has been named the Red Baron® WCHA Offensive Player of the Week for Jan. 17.
A 5-7, 180-pound senior from Chestermere, Alberta, Baker drew an assist on the game-opening goal in Michigan Tech’s 6-2 victory over the Seawolves last Friday at the John MacInnes Student Ice Arena. He registered a three-goal hat trick and another assist for four points on Saturday (Jan. 14) as the Huskies completed the sweep with a 6-4 triumph. Baker scored once in the first period and twice more in the third as Tech overcame a 4-3 deficit. He had the game-tying goal and the primary assist on the game-winning goal by teammate Milos Gordic. Baker’s hat trick was the second of the season by a Husky, with Gordic netting the other Oct. 28 vs. Denver.
In addition to his five points in the series, Baker earned a +3 plus/minus rating and had six shots on goal. Through 23 games this season, he has 20 points (7g, 13a) to rank second on the team in scoring.
The Huskies host NMU Saturday at 7:07pm.
