Wayne State University freshman defenseman Matt Krug (Livonia, Mich./Texas Tornado) has been selected honorable mention national rookie of the month by the Hockey Commissioners' Association.

Krug helped the Warriors compile a 4-2 mark in December including a sweep of Merrimack in their only home games. In the six contests, Krug had seven point on a goal and six assists including three helpers in the overtime win over Merrimack. He was +3 for the month while his lamp-lighter was the game-winning goal versus Western Michigan.
