Boston College Women's Hockey Forward Named HCA Rookie of Month: The Rundown

Boston College women’s hockey forward Ava Thomas has been named Hockey Commissioners Association Rookie of the Month.

Thomas earned the honor for her performance in the month of February for the Eagles.

During the stretch, Thomas scored nine points on three goals and six assists.

Thomas had a stellar freshman campaign in 2025-26 as she tallied 19 goals and 27 assists for 46 points, all team highs.

This season, Boston College went 16-18-1 overall and 14-9-1 in Hockey East play. The Eagles’ season came to a close on Saturday after a 3-1 loss to the Vermont Catamounts in the Hockey East Tournament quarterfinals.

At this point… are we surprised?!?!?
