"It's a great honor," said the soft-spoken Jonas at the awards banquet held in Lake Placid, N.Y. "I want to thank everyone, the coaching staff, my

teammates, and especially the senior class."

Also recognized were Dom Moore, voted onto the second team, and freshman Tim Pettit, who received all-rookie honors.

If the Crimson defeats Cornell, it figures to have an equally tough time in the championship game. Harvard's most-likely foe would be streaking St. Lawrence, led by ECAC Player of the Year Erik Anderson, who had a hat trick and three assists in his only appearance against Harvard this season.

The Crimson beat St. Lawrence 4-1 last month, but Anderson was out with an injury. The Saints are 15-2-2 since later December with Anderson in the lineup.

Dartmouth and Vermont must win two games to get to the championship, but both teams match up favorably with the Crimson. The Catamounts, fresh off a stunning three-game victory over ECAC regular season champion Clarkson, seem to have solved their goaltending problems and swept the Crimson this year.

Dartmouth split its series with Harvard, but the Big Green has been playing as well as anyone in the league lately, and beat the Crimson 7-0 last month, Harvard's worst loss in over twenty years.

Still, no team enters the tournament as the clear favorite. At its best, Harvard can handle any of the teams remaining and finally return to hockey's version of the big dance.
