Cooper, a native of Mississaugua, Ontario, leads the Panthers with 30 goals and 20 assists in 27 games. Entering this weekend’s games, Cooper has a career total of 94-58-152.<\/p>\n

Four forwards are repeat first-team All-Americans: New England’s Travis Banga, Cooper of Middlebury, Jason Deitsch of St. Norbert, and Norwich’s Kurtis McLean. St. John’s led all schools with five selections, two first team and three second team.<\/p>\n
