Junior varsity hockey coach Jim Hutchinson will be awarded the 1971 Sheaffer Pen Award, for outstanding contribution to collegiate hockey. Wednesday by the New England Hockey Writers.
Hutchinson initiated the junior varsity hockey program in 1955 and has compiled a 170-93-7 record over the 16-year period.
