BEMIDJI, Minn. – Bemidji State University Men's Hockey freshman Lleyton Roed was recognized as the Central Collegiate Hockey Association Rookie of the Week announced Monday afternoon to earn his third weekly accolade of the season. He now leads conference rookies in weekly accolades.
 
The White Bear Lake, Minn., native totaled two points off one goal and one assist last weekend in the Beavers' series split with Northern Michigan University at Sanford Center. Roed recorded both points in Friday's 4-0 victory over the Wildcats after he assisted on the Beavers' second goal and then later scored the fourth goal. He finished the weekend with an even rating on the ice and posted nine shots on goal, second most on the team.
 
Roed now paces league rookies with 18 points on the season (7g-11a) and has compiled the best rookie season at Bemidji State since Elias Rosén recorded 24 points in 35 games during his freshman campaign in 2019-20.
 
Joining Roed with weekly accolades was Mack Byers from St. Thomas as the Forward of the Week, Akito Hirose from Minnesota State as the Defenseman of the Week and Michigan Tech's Blake Pietila as the Goaltender of the Week.
 
Bemidji State will now hit the road and travel to Sault Ste. Marie, Mich., to take on Lake Superior State University looking to gain traction in the CCHA standings. The Beavers and Lakers will play game one of their two-game league series Friday, Jan. 27 beginning at 6:07 p.m. CT.
