The 20 men’s hockey Division I seniors selected as candidates for the 2013-14 Senior CLASS Award were announced Thursday.
The individuals are those who excel both on and off the ice. To be eligible for the award, a student-athlete must be classified as an NCAA Division I senior and have notable achievements in four areas of excellence – community, classroom, character and competition.
An acronym for Celebrating Loyalty and Achievement for Staying in School, the Senior CLASS Award “focuses on the total student-athlete and encourages students to use their platform in athletics to make a positive impact as leaders in their communities,” according to a news release
Of the 20 candidates, 12 have grade-point averages of 3.5 or higher.
