New Hampshire head coach Dick Umile was named Tuesday as the 1999 All-New England Division I Coach of the Year, in balloting conducted by the New England Hockey Writers Association.<\/p>\n
Umile coached the Wildcats to their first-ever appearance in the NCAA championship game as well as the Hockey East regular-season title and a school-record 31 victories. He was previously named Hockey East Coach of the Year and is a candidate for the Spencer Penrose Award as national coach of the year.<\/p>\n
The writers also named their 1999 All-New England Division I team, headlined by five players who competed in the NCAA title game.<\/p>\n
NCAA champion Maine placed two players on the team: forward Steve Kariya and defenseman David Cullen. NCAA runner-up New Hampshire had three players named: 1999 Hobey Baker recipient Jason Krog, defenseman Jayme Filipowicz, and goaltender Ty Conklin. Two players were chosen from NCAA semifinalist and Hockey East tournament champion Boston College: forward Brian Gionta and defenseman Mike Mottau.<\/p>\n
Five Hobey Baker finalists were among those chosen: Gionta, Kariya, Krog, Yale forward Jeff Hamilton, and Boston University goaltender Michel Larocque.<\/p>\n
Nine of the players named were also members of the East All-America team: Cullen, Filipowicz, Gionta, Hamilton, Kariya, Krog, Larocque, Mottau, and Merrimack forward Rejean Stringer.<\/p>\n
Also named to the team were UMass-Lowell defenseman Anthony Cappelletti and Providence forward Mike Omicioli.<\/p>\n
The honorees will be recognized along with the writers’ other regional selections at the annual New England Hockey Writers banquet, to be held Wednesday, April 14, in Saugus, Mass.<\/p>\n
