The Gridiron Club of Greater Boston announced Monday the 15 Division I players who are semifinalists for the 59th Walter Brown Award, presented annually to the best American-born college hockey player in New England.<\/p>\n

The semifinalists include nine players from Hockey East, five from ECAC Hockey, and one from Atlantic Hockey. The slate comprises nine forwards, four goalies, and two defensemen. Boston College and Yale each have three nominees while New Hampshire and Boston University have two.<\/p>\n

“Once again, the Walter Brown Award Committee took on a formidable task in evaluating all the worthy nominees and selecting a field of semifinalists,” said Gridiron Club Hockey Awards Committee chairman Tim Costello. “Unfortunately, not every player who received serious consideration is on this list.”<\/p>\n
