Twenty of the top NCAA men’s hockey student-athletes, who excel both on and off the ice, have been selected as candidates today for the 2021-22 Senior CLASS Award.<\/p>\n

To be eligible for the award, a student-athlete must be classified as a NCAA Division I senior or graduate student and have notable achievements in four areas of excellence: community, classroom, character and competition.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>An acronym for C<\/strong>elebrating L<\/strong>oyalty and A<\/strong>chievement for S<\/strong>taying in S<\/strong>chool,\u00a0the Senior CLASS Award focuses on the total student-athlete and encourages students to use their platform in athletics to make a positive impact as leaders in their communities.<\/p>\n

The 20 candidates will be narrowed to 10 finalists later in the season. Those 10 names will then be placed on the official ballot. Ballots will be distributed through a nationwide voting system to media, coaches and fans, who will select one candidate who best exemplifies excellence in the four Cs of community, classroom, character, and competition.<\/p>\n

The winner will be announced during the 2022 Frozen Four in April.<\/p>\n
