Kiecker-Olson Garners AHA Forward of the Week Accolades

Canisius senior forward Killian Kiecker-Olson has been named the Atlantic Hockey America's Forward of the Week, league officials announced on Tuesday.

A native of Andover, Minn., Kiecker-Olson registered a team-high five points (1g-4a) during the Golden Griffins split of their AHA series against Holy Cross last weekend at LECOM Harborcenter. The centerman also paced Canisius with a .543 face-off winning percentage, winning 19-of-35 draws taken against the Crusaders during the two-game set.

Kiecker-Olson dished out a pair of assists in the series opener before registering a career-high three points in a goal and two assists in the Griffs 5-3 victory over the Crusaders in the finale.

Skating in all 30 games this season, Kiecker-Olson has enjoyed a breakout season that has seen him establish career highs in goals (7), assists (13) and points (20). He also ranks first on the squad in both face-off wins (215) and face-off winning percentage (.538).

Canisus (15-13-2, 10-10-2 AHA) returns to action Feb.20-21 as it hosts Robert Morris for a two-game AHA series.

The series opener between the Griffs and Colonials is slated for 7 p.m. while the finale is scheduled for 4 p.m.
