A total of 20 men’s Division I seniors were selected Wednesday as candidates for the 2012-13 Senior CLASS Award.

Candidates must display notable achievements in community, classroom, character and competition.

Last year’s winner was Minnesota-Duluth forward Jack Connolly.

The 2013 candidate class will be narrowed to 10 finalists midway through the regular season.
