216 Student-Athletes Named to 2019-20 AHA All-Academic Team
Atlantic Hockey players once again proved that even amidst a pandemic, they can still put the student in student-athlete. The 2019-20 Atlantic Hockey All-Academic Team features 216 names and one exemplary student-athlete with a 2019-20 grade point average of over 4.0, resulting in a single Student Athlete of the Year.
Army West Point sophomore, Blaine Madson, posted consecutive semesters with a GPA greater than 4.0, 4.02 in the first semester and 4.14 in the second semester, for a 4.08 grade point average, the highest of all players in Atlantic Hockey this season. For that, Blaine is the 2019-20 Student-Athlete of the Year.
Nine of the 11 member institutions placed at least 20 student-athletes on the All-Academic Team, with regular season champion AIC leading the way with 29. Canisius had 27 eligible names, followed by 26 from Niagara, 25 from RIT, 23 each from Holy Cross and Robert Morris, 21 from Mercyhurst and Sacred Heart, and 20 from Bentley. Rounding out the 11 schools were Air Force with 12 and Army West Point with 10.
