Luke Salazar, a freshman forward at the University of Denver, has been named the Red Baron® WCHA Rookie of the Week as a result of his outstanding play in a victory over 2008 NCAA Men's Frozen Four runner-up and #4-ranked Notre Dame last Saturday in the annual U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame Game at Magness Arena in Denver, Colo.
A 5-7, 150-pounder from Thornton, Colo., Salazar scored his first two collegiate goals - one of which was the eventual game-winner - and added one assist for three scoring points as the host Pioneers upended the Fighting Irish, 5-2. He notched his first goal at 4:35 of the third period and then scored the game-winning goal at 7:15 of the final period.
In addition to his three points, Salazar led DU with a +2 plus/minus rating, fired four shots on goal, added three hits and blocked one shot.

Congratulations to Luke!
Badgers beware, the Big Gun(Colborne) awaits and the Goal Czar can not be overlooked. Or your former recruit will make you sorry.
