Swift Current's Joel Rumpel continues to rack up the awards in his first season of NCAA Division 1 Hockey.

The Wisconsin Badgers' goaltender won the WCHA Rookie of the Week Award for the third time.

Rumpel came within a minute of a shutout last Friday while stopping 26 of 27 shots in a 4-1 victory over Minnesota. He lost the re-match on Saturday, but still stopped 31 of the 33 shots he faced.

The Badgers start their playoffs this weekend in Denver.
