McBride played in all 28 games this season, finishing the year with an ECAC West-high 13 goals and nine assists. He led the team and was fifth in the conference with five power-play goals. McBride opened the season with a pair of assists at Brockport. Two weeks later, he scored the first of his two game-winning goals to beat Utica in overtime. McBride notched a season-high three points (2g,1a) in a home win over Salve Regina in mid-January. The first team All-ECAC West selection helped Hobart capture its third ECAC West Tournament Championship, assisting on the Statesmen’s regulation goal against Neumann in the title game. Hobart won the contest 2-1 in overtime.
Hobart tied the program record for wins in a season, finishing with a 21-7-0 mark. The Statesmen finished first in the ECAC West regular season standings with a 12-3-0 record. Hobart also earned its fifth appearance in the NCAA Division III Men’s Ice Hockey Championship field.
