ROCHESTER, NY - Sophomore defenseman Chase Norrish (Strongfield, Saskatchewan/Yorkton Terriers) of the RIT men's hockey team, was named the Atlantic Hockey Conference Defensive Player of the Week on Tuesday, for the week ending Nov. 1, 2015. It is the first weekly honor of his collegiate career.

Norrish scored a goal, blocked two shots, and was plus-2, as the Tigers held American International to just 36 total shots on goal in a weekend sweep. Norrish was plus-1 with two blocked shots in a 4-2 win Friday. On Saturday, he scored his first goal of the year and was plus-1 in a 6-2 win. Norrish has a goal and two assists in seven games this season.

Norrish and Tigers look to extend their winning streak this weekend, as they head to Army West Point for a pair of games against the Black Knights. Both Friday and Saturday's contests begin at 7:05 p.m.
