Alex Newhook had a strange start to the 2020-21 season following a successful freshman campaign being cut short by the pandemic. After being named the 2019-20 National Rookie of the Year, he returned to Boston College for his sophomore year — but didn’t get to dress for the Eagles until January 8, as he was representing Canada at World Juniors. He then was out with a shoulder injury for the next month, and didn’t return to the lineup until February 5. Despite having played only eleven games for BC this year, Newhook has 15 points currently and is second on the team in points per game, only behind his linemate Matt Boldy.
