BEMIDJI, Minn. – After helping the (RV) Bemidji State University Men's Hockey team to a five-point weekend over University of St. Thomas this past weekend at Sanford Center, freshman defenseman Isa Parekh has been tabbed the Central Collegiate Hockey Association Rookie of the Week.
 
Parekh earns his first career accolade from the CCHA after scoring a goal and assist against the Tommies. On Friday, he netted a power-play goal in a 2-2 tie with the Tommies and then set up the Beavers' tying goal in their eventual 2-1 win Saturday. He held a +1 rating on the ice over the weekend with three shots on goal and two blocks at the defensive end.
 
The Nobleton, Ontario native joined Lake Superior State's Timo Bakos (Forward), Augustana's Uula Ruikka (Defenseman) and Minnesota State's Alex Tracy (Goaltender) as league weekly award winners.
