Northern Michigan’s Olver Leads Vote-Getters on All-CCHA Team

Miami and Northern Michigan each have two players on the all-CCHA teams released Wednesday.

Wildcats forward Mark Olver got more votes than any other player, and he’s joined on the first team by teammate Erik Gustafsson, a defenseman. Olver scored 17 goals and 35 points in 27 league games.

Forward Jarod Palmer and goaltender Cody Reichard represent league-champion Miami on the first team. Palmer had 33 points and was plus-26 in 28 league games, while Reichard was 15-0-2 with a 1.23 goals-against average and a .950 save percentage in CCHA play.
