Postseason Awards-Men

Good thing they actually play some games.

I don't think there's any suspense in this one. Should only be one choice, but somehow they got a second. Finalists for POTY.

Coaches vote, and you can't vote for your own player. Guess we can tell who Donny Vaughan voted for ...

It's the hockey equivalent of grade inflation.

Made the right call on Ferlin. Karp deserved the Dryden.

So in case somebody didn't see it, I posted the results of the awards in my original post.

Iles MVP; Captains named.

[BearLover]

So I figure it's unlikely anyone leaves early now.  Axell as captain?::wtf::

Ross is ECAC Student-Athlelete of the Year.

Ross is ECAC Student-Athlelete of the Year.

And earlier this year, the ECAC released the "All-Academic Team," and CU has 16 on the list.

Brown and Yale lead the way with 24 each, but when you can take all your courses pass/fail and there are no GPAs (like at Brown)...everybody's a winner?

What's also obvious is what academic programs hockey recruits are funneled to at each school, the most striking examples at the league's engineering schools.  Between Clarkson & RPI, 38 players made the list, with only four in engineering (32 in Business and/or Management).  Princeton has the largest mix, with none of the honorees sharing a major (but they do have 6 of 13 listed as "undeclared" ).  Cornell has 8 AEM, 3 ILR, 2 Biological Sciences, Ross is Human Biology, Health, & Society (and pre-med), and McCarron is undeclared.

It's not exactly news that RPI men's hockey players are management majors. That was the case when I was there also (Class of 1968). What has been surprising me for years is that a much larger percentage of the women hockey players go into technical fields http://www.ecachockey.com/women/2011-12/News/W_All-Academic_Team.pdf, especially considering that is not the case in the general population.

Kinda makes sense.  If you're a women's hockey players, you're likely not expecting to do that for that rest of your life; not that aren't some post-college options, but I think at that point you know if you have a chance.  For men, there are more pro possibilities, so your college choice may be focused on your options for turning pro rather than what you learn.  But for the women what you are planning to do with your major is likely a larger consideration, and if you're going to RPI your probably not choosing them for their art history major (no insult meant to RPI's art history department if it in fact has one).

Indeed, there is no art history department at RPI. :-)
