Boston University coach Jack Parker and goaltender Rick DiPietro shared top Division I honors with Boston College’s Mike Mottau and Brian Gionta in awards presented on Apr. 11 by the New England Hockey Writers Association. The three athletes also led the All-New England team.<\/p>\n
The late Joe Concannon, long-time Boston Globe writer, was posthumously honored with the Scheaffer Pen award for lifetime contributions to hockey.<\/p>\n
Parker was named Division I Coach of the Year, leading the Terriers to a 25-10-7 record and a Hockey East regular-season title after being picked in the preseason to finish fifth in the league.<\/p>\n
DiPietro was the only winner of two honors, earning the Leonard Fowle Award as New England’s Most Valuable Player and the George Carens Award as Rookie of the Year.<\/p>\n
The writers selected Mottau and Gionta as the most outstanding defenseman and forward, respectively. Mottau was also presented with the previously-announced Walter Brown Award, given by the Gridiron Club to the top American-born player competing in New England.<\/p>\n
