Ryan Larkin had himself quite a weekend, and the National Collegiate Hockey Conference took notice.

The Miami RedHawks goaltender posted his first collegiate shutout, and in doing so earned NCHC goaltender of the week honors.

Larkin, a Clarkston native, stopped 33 shots to lead his Miami squad to a 5-0 victory over Maine Saturday night on home ice. It was the first shutout recorded by the freshman netminder, and it came a day after Larkin helped the RedHawks to a 3-3 tie against the same opponent.

On the weekend, Larkin stopped 51 shots, good for a .944 save percentage.

In five starts this season, the freshman netminder holds a 2-1-2 record, a 1.75 goals-against average and a .931 save percentage.

Larkin is a Honeybaked AAA and Cedar Rapids RoughRiders (USHL) product.
