Alaska goaltender leads the CCHA in goal-against average and save percentage.

FARMINGTON HILLS, Mich. — The Central Collegiate Hockey Association announced today that sophomore goaltender Scott Greenham of Alaska has been named the RBC Financial Group CCHA Player of the Month for October. This is the first time Greenham has earned the honor in his career.

Greenham, a 22-year-old from Addison, Ontario, led the Nanooks to a 5-0-1 record in October and leads the CCHA in winning percentage (.917), save percentage (.949) and goals-against average (1.14). His goals-against average ranks second in the nation and first among goaltenders to record more than 100 minutes. In addition, Greenham ranks sixth in Division I in save percentage and second among netminders who have faced more 100 shots on goal.

The 6-foot-2, 197-pound sophomore has been named CCHA Goaltender of the Week two times through the first four weeks of play. Greenham was the first player to receive the honor after being named Most Outstanding Player in the Kendall Hockey Classic Oct. 10-11. He allowed just one combined goal in wins over Michigan (2-0) and Mercyhurst (5-1) with a total of 43 saves. Greenham was recognized a second time after allowing just three goals, two of which came on the power play, during Alaska’s home sweep of Ferris State, Oct. 30-31.

Special mention for RBC Financial Group CCHA Player of the Month honors goes to Bowling Green freshman forward Jordan Samuels-Thomas, Ferris State senior forward Blair Riley, Lake Superior senior forward Zac MacVoy, Miami sophomore goaltender Cody Reichard, Michigan junior forward Matt Rust, Michigan State junior forward Corey Tropp, Nebraska-Omaha junior forward Rich Purslow, Northern Michigan junior forward Mark Olver, and Notre Dame senior defenseman Kyle Lawson.
