An acronym for Celebrating Loyalty and Achievement for Staying in School, the award focuses on the total student-athlete and encourages students to use their platform in athletics to make a positive impact as leaders in their communities.<\/p>\n

The 20 candidates will be narrowed to 10 finalists in February, and those 10 names will be placed on the official ballot. Ballots will be distributed through a nationwide voting system to media, coaches and fans, who will select one candidate who best exemplifies excellence in the four Cs of community, classroom, character and competition.<\/p>\n

The Senior CLASS Award winner will be announced during the 2018 Frozen Four in April.<\/p>\n

Last year’s winner was Bemidji State forward Brendan Harms.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
