TROY, N.Y. – The Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) men’s hockey team has placed 19 student-athletes on the 2015-16 ECAC Hockey All-Academic team, the league has announced. Among Rensselaer’s honorees was senior defenseman Phil Hampton (Oakville, ON/Oakville Blades), who was selected to the Commissioner’s List, which is made up of the top scholars from each institution.
Hampton is among four engineering majors from RPI, while the other 15 student-athletes are business and management majors. Seniors Hampton, Travis Fulton (Oakville, ON/Vaughan Vipers), Mark Miller (Massena, NY/Omaha Lancers), Zach Schroeder (Prior Lake, MN/St. Thomas Academy) and Chris Bradley (Williamsville, NY/Youngstown Phantoms) were all recognized for the fourth time in their careers, while seven others were also multiple-year recipients. Bradley was the team’s captain last season.
