I don't recall USCHO doing anything like this before.
Junior Lessard wins POTY. The rest of the winners are announced later today.
Anyone think McKee gets some mention?

No reason USCHO shouldn't do its own All America team. It's good publicity for a scrappy little site. ESPN/INCH does its own. Gives USCHO a chance to tweak the noses of the Hobey awarders if they get it backwards, in USCHO's opinion.
And at risk of opening up fewer chances for Cornell (or Harvard or BC) skaters, maybe it's time All-America was All-America, not two of them, one per half of the country.
Re McKee: If USCHO does an All-Rookie team, there's your goalie, probably.
