With 13 points (9-4-13) in seven games with the Pioneers this season, Borgstrom has registered a point in each game he has played. He's put together three multi-goal games, four multi-point games and he had himself a night on Nov. 3 at Western Michigan, when he posted a career-high four points and his first NCAA hat trick.

Hockey Fights Cancer

For Vincent Trocheck, the biggest battle of the year actually started at the end of the 2016-17 campaign, when his mother, Rita, was diagnosed with colon cancer right around a month after the Florida Panthers had wrapped up their season.
With the NHL currently in the midst of its annual Hockey Fights Cancer month, Trocheck is also raising money through his Movember page, a place fans can make donations and track the center's mustache growth over the next several weeks. "They need the most support," he said. "It's weighing on them mentally and physically every single day. They need all the support they can get."
Jameson Olive sat down with Trocheck to discuss his mother's treatment. Click HERE to see the full story. You can donate to Trocheck's cause by visiting his Movember page HERE. To see and donate to the Panthers team #Movember page, click HERE.
