Not hockey, but a pretty impressive honor:

This is interesting:

QuoteEven better are her credentials in the classroom—Shealy has a 4.0 GPA as a business administration student, won the Elite 89 award, given annually to the student-athlete with the highest cumulative GPA participating at each of the NCAA championship sites, and is the first UNC athlete to earn a Robertson scholarship. The Robertson, which gives a full-ride award annually to 18 UNC and 18 Duke students, requires that scholars live for a semester on the campus of their school's biggest rival.

I wonder if any other famous pairs (Yale/Harvard, Cal/Stanford) do this?

Duke and UNC can do this because their campuses are seperated by 30 minutes of highway, and it is not unusual already for students to take a class at the other. At least Yale/Harvard would be unable to do this due to lack of proximity.
