College Hockey:CCHA names All-Conference selections; Ferris State pair leads First Team
Both Miami junior forward Reilly Smith and Michigan State junior defenseman Torey Krug have been selected to the CCHA All-Conference First Team for the second straight season.
Both Smith and Krug were unanimous selections to the First Team, each receiving ten first-place votes.
Smith led the league with 18 goals in conference play and 26 goals overall. Krug tied for the league lead in points with 29, making him the first defenseman to accomplish that feat since the 1986-87 season.
The teams were selected by a vote of the league’s head coaches and are based on performance in conference games only. Coaches were not allowed to vote for their own players.
