OXFORD, Ohio - Former Miami University hockey captain Austin Czarnik's torrid debut season in the American Hockey League has earned him a place on the league's All-Rookie Team.

The Washington, Mich., native's 40 assists are tied for fifth in the entire league and he also sports a stellar +15 rating on the ice.
Czarnik served as Miami's team captain during the final two of his four seasons with the Red and White.
