Filak catches weekly honors

On Monday, January 12th the Empire 8 and UCHC conferences announced their selections for Ice Hockey Athletes of the Week. David Filak was named the Empire 8 and UCHC Goaltender of the Week following a excellent bounce back performance in Brockport's 5-2 win over Elmira last Saturday.

Despite allowing two goals across his first 12 shots faced, Filak would recover to ignite a Brockport comeback. The junior from Northville, MI would stop 18 straight shots, posting a scoreless final 36:16 of the contest to earn his fourth win of the season. Filak finished the evening with 29 saves, stopping 93.5% of the shots he faced, and posting 25+ saves for the sixth straight game. 

Filak is in the midst of his best season with the Green and Gold, already surpassing his total wins from 2024-25 (3), and posting a single-game career high in saves (48) against Utica back on November 15th. He leads Brockport goaltenders in saves (233), ranking second in the UCHC conference in saves per game (33.29).
