ROCHESTER, NY - Junior forward Todd Skirving (Thunder Bay, Ontario/Sioux Falls Stampede) of the RIT men's hockey team was named the Atlantic Hockey Conference co-Player of the Week on Tuesday, for the week ending Oct. 18, 2015. It is Skirving's first weekly honor of the season and third of his collegiate career.

Skirving recorded the second multiple-goal game of his career, setting a RIT Division I team record by scoring consecutive goals 25 seconds apart in the first period of the team's 2-2 tie against No. 10 Bowling Green at Blue Cross Arena on Saturday. He took a feed from Myles Powell (Courtenay, British Columbia/Cowichan Valley Capitals) in front of the net 5:47 into the game and was the recipient of a nice backhand pass by Mark Golberg (Ottawa, Ontario/Cumberland Grads) 25 seconds later. Skirving has two goals in two games this season.

RIT is back in action this weekend with a home-and-home series against Colgate University. Friday's game from Colgate starts at 7 p.m., while Saturday's contest at the Gene Polisseni Center gets underway at 7:05 p.m. On Saturday, RIT President Bill Destler will dye his hair orange between the second and third period if the game is soldout. The Polisseni Center holds 4,300 fans.
