USCHO.com added to its recent hardware list when it was named winner of this year’s Murray Kramer/Scarlet Quill Memorial Award by the Boston University Athletic Department during its annual Hall of Fame Banquet.
The award, named in honor of Boston University’s first Sports Information Director, is presented to an individual or organization in recognition of outstanding media coverage or publicity of intercollegiate sports. The recipient is chosen by the Boston University Hall of Fame executive committee.
The award has been given annually since 1965 and USCHO.com becomes only the fourth whole organization to receive it, joining NESN, ESPN and Channel 7 in Boston.
