Macklin Celebrini was an offensive force this season for BU (photo: Matt Woolverton).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Boston University freshman forward Macklin Celebrini has been named the recipient of the 2024 Tim Taylor Award, awarded annually upon the best first-year player in NCAA Division I men\u2019s hockey by the Hockey Commissioners\u2019 Association.<\/p>\n

He is the fifth BU player to win this award. The others are goaltender Kieran Millan in 2009, forward Jack Eichel in 2015, forward Clayton Keller in 2017, and forward Joel Farabee in 2019.<\/p>\n

The award is voted on by the nation\u2019s assistant coaches and is named for the former Yale and U.S. Olympic Team head coach.<\/p>\n

A native of Vancouver, B.C., Celebrini brought a line of 32-32-64 into the semifinals of the NCAA Frozen Four, ranking second in the nation in both goals per game and points per game. He was named most outstanding player of the NCAA regionals in Sioux Falls, S.D. Celebrini had multipoint games in each of the 6-3 BU wins (over RIT and Minnesota). He was the just the fourth player in Hockey East history to earn rookie of the year and player of the year honors in the same season.<\/p>\n

Tim Taylor, for whom the award is named, spent 28 seasons at Yale and became the school\u2019s winningest head coach as he collected 337 victories. His tenure spanned from 1976 to 2006, while taking two years on leave to coach the U.S. Men\u2019s Olympic Hockey Team as an assistant coach in 1984 and as the head coach in 1994. Taylor was captain of the Harvard men\u2019s hockey team before he graduated in 1963. He began his coaching career at his alma mater, serving as an assistant coach on the Crimson staff under Ralph \u201cCooney\u201d Weiland and Bill Cleary before beginning his time with the Bulldogs.<\/p>\n

The Hockey Commissioners Association sponsors this award, which results from a ballot containing each NCAA Division I hockey conference\u2019s rookie of the year.<\/p>\n

The runner-up for this year\u2019s award was Denver freshman defenseman Zeev Buium.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
