Trevor Hoskin wasted little time introducing himself to college hockey fans, as the freshman forward scored in three of his first five games and had points in seven of his first eight – racking up 4-7-11 in the stretch.

Fast forward to today and Hoskin continues to produce, as the Belleville, Ont. native is coming off a six-point weekend and leads all NCAA freshmen with 29 points (9-20-9). He also owns an AHA-best 1.12 points per game and his 20 assists are tied for the league lead.

Hoskin, who is a fourth-round pick of the Calgary Flames (2024) was named the AHA Rookie of the Week on Monday. On top of being one of the nation’s top rookies, his 29 points are also tied for 12th in the country overall.

Hoskin had a goal and five assists last weekend as Niagara earned a pair of wins at RIT, vaulting the Purple Eagles to second in the AHA standings with 38 points. Niagara (14-10-3, 12-5-2) has played one fewer game than first-place Sacred Heart too, and the two teams will meet this weekend.

The Purple Eagles have won three straight and seven of their past nine, and were one of three AHA teams to receive votes (4) in this week’s USCHO poll – Sacred Heart (22) and Holy Cross (8) being the others. Niagara tied a season-high with seven goals Friday night and Jason Lammers’ club has scored five or more goals in five of their last six games – including 19 over their past three.

Hoskin, who is listed at 6-foot-1 and 175 pounds, is a right shot and has predominantly played on the right side of Niagara’s second line. He currently owns a seven-game point streak – which dates back to Jan. 4.

It’s Hoskin’s second seven-game streak of the season – Oct. 12-Nov. 1 being the other – and Hoskin has 14 points (4-10-14) over his current heater. He has three consecutive three-point efforts and also finished last week a plus-4.

Hoskin will look to keep his streak alive this weekend as the Purple Eagles aim to overtake Sacred Heart in the standings. Friday’s game is set for a 7 p.m. faceoff while Saturday will follow at 5 p.m. Both games can be streamed here on Flo.

Here are some of the other top storylines this week in Atlantic Hockey America on both the men's and women's side.
