Week 6 Selections for ECAC Hockey Faceoff 2024-25

Most players had a mixed bag of results in Week 5,​ with⁢ scores of either 5-4-2 or 4-5-2.​ Some intriguing outcomes led to these records, including Quinnipiac’s surprising double loss at home, Harvard’s double victory, and ⁢Union’s ⁣tie and loss against‌ Alaska ​Fairbanks.

However, three players managed to break away from the ⁣pack. Andrew Santillo, ‌the temporary play-by-play ⁣commentator ‌for Union men’s ⁢hockey (filling⁣ in for ​Matt Dubrey ⁣who is currently battling leukemia), achieved a 6-2-1 record. He doesn’t pick⁢ the Union games he calls. SageNet ⁢and Brian Unger also performed well, each scoring ⁢6-3-2. SageNet’s performance allowed him to tie for second place with me, who was among the 4-5-2 players.

Let’s take a look at the standings, with Week 5 records included:
