LEN Ceglarski SPORTSMANSHIP AWARD
68
This award, named in honor of retired Boston College Head Coach Len Ceglarski, is given by the league to one player who has consistently demonstrated superior conduct and sportsmanship on the ice. The directors of Hockey East established the Len Ceglarski Sportsmanship Award in 1992. Each school nominates one player. The award is then voted upon by head coaches, sports information directors and league officials. Vermont junior forward Chris McCarthy (Collegeville, Pa.) took home the Len Ceglarski Sportsmanship Award. McCarthy notched only three penalties for six minutes in 27 league contests to go along with 25 points (12g,13a). He is the first player in Vermont’s program history to garner the honor.
