Fourth Annual AHCA “All American Scholars” Announced
The American Hockey Coaches Association (AHCA) recently recognized varsity ice hockey players who compiled exceptional results in the classroom during the 2019-20 season with the announcement of the fourth annual "Krampade All American Scholars." Twelve athletes from five different institutions represented the State University of New York Athletic Conference (SUNYAC).
Due to the effects of Covid-19 on actual grades in the spring, the AHCA adopted revised criteria for this year's honorees. To qualify, a student-athlete must have attained a 3.75 GPA for the fall semester and participated in 40% of their school's games.
"These are exceptional individuals," said AHCA executive director Joe Bertagna. "The sport demands a great deal from these athletes so it is a great statement they make, individually and collectively, with their ability to attain this level of academic achievement while contributing at the NCAA Division I level."
