Alex has also been named as one of eight finalists for the Sid Watson Award presented by the American Hockey Coaches Association (AHCA) to the nation’s top Division III player and was selected a 2010 RBK Hockey Division III First Team All-American. Earlier in the season Alex faced his younger brother Mike’s team from Colby College where Mike ‘08 was a freshman forward for Colby.
