Omaha Hockey junior goaltender Simon Latkoczy and junior defenseman Jacob Guevin were named “Goaltender of the Week” and “Defenseman of the Week” (respectively) in the KJ Branding NCHC Players of the Week: Oct. 7-13, 2024.  

Latkoczy stopped 77 total shots during the Ice Breaker Tournament in Las Vegas in games against UMass and Minnesota — 53 of the stops occurred in the championship game against Minnesota on Oct. 12 (tying a school record). Latkoczy had a .963 SV% and a 1.44 GAA on the weekend.

Guevin tallied 1 goal and 2 assists during UNO’s two games at the Ice Breaker Tournament. He also had two blocked shots during the tournament. His goal was the game-winning goal in overtime of the championship game (off an assist from forward Tanner Ludtke), securing a 2-1 win over Minnesota (making the Mavs the Ice Breaker Tournament champions). 

Both performances helped UNO to a 2-0 record to start the 2024-25 season.
