UMass finished tied for eighth with Northeastern in the team’s final season under long-time head coach Don “Toot” Cahoon, advancing to the Hockey East tournament due to tiebreaker criteria. The Minutemen were swept by Boston College in the playoff quarterfinals for the second straight season.

‏

Both the Anaheim Ducks and their AHL affiliate San Diego Gulls are into their respective post-seasons, and it has been a strong year for both squads. Youth has been on display throughout the organization, as the Ducks also have a ton of tremendous talents further down in the CHL and NCAA, and overseas in Europe. As a whole it has been a pretty productive year for the Ducks pipeline, with almost too many players and not enough awards to highlight achievements! You could find multiple winners for each award, and unfortunately we could only pick one for each category.
