Three M. Hockey Players Honored

Dartmouth’s Hugh Jessiman rounded out the individual awards as Rookie of the Year. Joining Moore and Pettit on the first team were Higgins, Murray, LeNeveu and Clarkson defenseman Randy Jones.

The second team included Welch, Bâby, Cornell forward Ryan Vesce, Colgate forward Scooter Smith, and Brown goaltender Yann Danis. Jessiman received All-ECAC honorable mention, along with his linemate, Lee Stempniak, and Cornell defenseman Mark McRae.

Notable omissions from that group included Harvard forward Brett Nowak – a second-team All-ECAC selection last season when he finished with 24 points, eight fewer than he had this year – and Crimson goaltender Dov Grumet-Morris, who ranks second nationally in save percentage (.930) and is tied for third in goals against average (2.19).

“It’s great to be honored, but there are a lot of guys on our team that deserved to get awards that didn’t,” said Pettit, who led all scorers during ECAC play with

37 points.
