Third ACHA Ranking (December 19) Fourth ACHA Ranking (January 23) Fifth ACHA Ranking (February 1) ICE JACKS GET TOP BILLING DURING THE SECOND RANKING PERIOD. The NAU Ice Jacks Hockey club has again been honored as the top team in ACHA Division III Pacific Region. NAU received all 10 first place votes and were honored as the unanimous choice. Sixteen teams are invited to the national tournament in Rochester, NY. Four teams are chosen from each region of the country. Lead by the top line of Dillon Shaffer, Barrett Buckowich and Ben Jordan the Ice Jacks have led the scoring for a team that has scored an average of over 8 goals per game. The emerging line including freshmen Jon Ellis and Michael Farnham from Alaska has also given the team a boost. Great defensive play by senior Matt Dyal, Rob Brown and Senior Michael Borgesen and great goaltending from Senior Nate Baier and freshman Matt Williams have helped to keep opponents off the scoreboard.
