A total of 15 nominees for the 2015 BNY Mellon Wealth Management Hockey Humanitarian Award were announced Thursday.

Celebrating its 20th anniversary this year, the award is presented annually to college hockey’s finest citizen – a student-athlete who makes significant contributions not only to his or her team, but also to the community-at-large through leadership in volunteerism.

Finalists will be announced in February and the winner will be recognized in a ceremony on Friday, April 10, as part of the Frozen Four in Boston.
