From: Cedar Rapids WebsiteCedar Rapids RoughRiders defenseman Matt Donovan has been named to the Center Trophy United States Hockey League All-Rookie Team, the USHL announced today.
“Matt has worked very hard and shown a lot of poise and composure this season,” said RoughRiders Coach and General Manager Mark Carlson. “He's competed hard night in and night out and that’s paid off tremendously him.”
Donovan, 17, finished tied for second among USHL defensemen in goals (12) and was tied for seventh among blue liners in points (30). The Edmond, Oklahoma, native led the RoughRiders in plus/minus rating (+19) while playing in all but one of the Riders’ 60 regular season games. Donovan was twice this season named USHL Defensive Player of the Week.
The Riders picked Donovan in the first round of last May’s USHL Draft with the tenth overall selection. The University of Denver recruit played midget hockey for the Dallas Junior Stars last season.
The RoughRiders (33-22-5, 71 points) finished the regular season in third place in the USHL’s East Division and will open the best-of-five first round of the Clark Cup playoffs Friday night in Waterloo against the Black Hawks.
