Forward Blake Geoffrion, the Hobey Baker Award winner and USCHO’s national player of the year, and defenseman Brendan Smith represent the Badgers on the first team.<\/p>\n

The rest of the first team: Maine forward Gustav Nyquist, New Hampshire forward Bobby Butler, Massachusetts defenseman Justin Braun and Denver goaltender Marc Cheverie.<\/p>\n

First Team<\/h4>\n

Forward — Blake Geoffrion, Wisconsin:<\/b> The USCHO national player of the year and Hobey Baker Award winner had 50 points (28 goals, 22 assists) in 40 games. His goal total as a senior was one more than in his first three seasons combined.<\/p>\n

Forward — Gustav Nyquist, Maine:<\/b> A Hobey Hat Trick finalist, he was the national scoring leader with 61 points (19 goals, 42 assists) as a sophomore. He put up 29 more points than in his rookie season.<\/p>\n

Forward — Bobby Butler, New Hampshire:<\/b> Another Hobey Hat Trick finalist, he was plus-17 in addition to his 29 goals and 53 points. He’s another forward who put up big numbers in his senior season; he had just 32 goals combined in his first three years with the Wildcats.<\/p>\n

Defenseman — Brendan Smith, Wisconsin:<\/b> A dynamic two-way player, he scored 11 of his 15 goals on the Badgers’ dangerous power play. His 52 points were 29 better than in his sophomore season.<\/p>\n

Defenseman — Justin Braun, Massachusetts:<\/b> A defensive defenseman, his efforts in his own zone stood out on a team that ranked in the bottom third nationally in scoring defense. He added eight goals and 31 points.<\/p>\n

Goaltender — Marc Cheverie, Denver:<\/b> Competing in a league that features some of the best offenses in the country, he was a solid backstop to the Pioneers’ success. His 24 wins tied for second in the country, and he added six shutouts.<\/p>\n

Second Team<\/h4>\n

Forward — Rhett Rakhshani, Denver:<\/b> The leader of one of the nation’s top teams all season, he reached the 50-goal level as a senior with 21 goals and 29 assists.<\/p>\n

Forward — Chase Polacek, Rensselaer:<\/b> After scoring 18 times in his first two seasons combined, the ECAC player of the year had 26 goals as a junior.<\/p>\n

Forward — Cam Atkinson, Boston College:<\/b> He surged to the finish, scoring six goals in the NCAA tournament to reach the national lead with 30, helping the Eagles win the national championship.<\/p>\n

Defenseman — Patrick Wiercioch, Denver:<\/b> He was one of Denver’s steadying presences even though his offensive contributions dipped from his freshman season.<\/p>\n

Defenseman — Dan Ringwald, RIT:<\/b> His plus-22 rating was second in Atlantic Hockey, and he was a driving force in getting the Tigers to the Frozen Four for the first time.<\/p>\n

Goaltender — Ben Scrivens, Cornell:<\/b> The national leader in save percentage (.934) also posted a stellar 1.87 goals-against average.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
