ALBANY, N.Y. – Members of the Colgate men’s hockey team were recently honored for their work in the classroom as eight skaters joined the ECAC Hockey All-Academic Team for the 2012-13 academic year.
Players are eligible for the All-Academic team if they earn a cumulative grade point average of at least a 3.00 on a 4.00 scale or have a GPA over 3.00 over the past three semesters.
