Cavanagh’s father, Joe Cavanagh ’71, is one of nine Harvard recipients, the last of which was Lane MacDonald ’89.

Boston College leads this year’s list with three semifinalists, including three-time nominee Ben Eaves. Last year’s winner, New Hampshire goaltender Mike Ayers, is also among the semifinalists.
