Colgate forward Ethan Cox won the 15th annual BNY Mellon Wealth Management Hockey Humanitarian Award, presented at center ice of Ford Field’s ephemeral rink on Friday. Established to acknowledge extraordinarily conscientious NCAA hockey players, the award considers all divisions and genders.<\/p>\n
The senior co-captain was honored for his outstanding charity work in the greater Hamilton, N.Y., area, where he saw a need … and a calling. Raised in a socially conscious atmosphere, Cox knows the value of helping those less fortunate.<\/p>\n
“I believe that this award is more a reflection of the parents than of the [recipient],” he said in his acceptance speech. “My parents were both teachers and they instilled in me the notion of giving back ever since my brother and I were children. They told me to always be thankful and the best way to express that is to give back to those less fortunate than I am,” he said in the lead-up to the presentation.<\/p>\n
