The total surpassed the previous UMass record of 19 honorees, set last year, and ranked second among the 11 Hockey East member institutions. In total, a league-record 183 student-athletes earned the recognition for achieving a grade-point average of 3.0 or higher in each of the two semesters of the 2019-20 academic year.
Additionally, rising seniors Jake Gaudet and George Mika earned the prestigious honor of being named Hockey East's Top Scholar-Athlete, compiling a perfect 4.0 GPA for the season along with 13 other individuals from across the league. Gaudet and Mika also join those 13 student-athletes on the 2019-20 Hockey East Academic All-Star Team.
Jack Suter earned Distinguished Scholar status for earning a 3.0 or better in each semester of his four seasons with UMass hockey. The Minutemen also boasted five three-time honorees in Oliver Chau, Gaudet, Niko Hildenbrand, Philip Lagunov and Matt Murray, while seven earned the recognition for the second time – Anthony Del Gaizo, Marc Del Gaizo, Ty Farmer, Colin Felix, Filip Lindberg, Mika and Kolby Vegara.
UMass' first-time honorees were Alex Camarre, Jeremy Davidson, Eric Faith, Bobby Kaiser, Matthew Kessel, Cal Kiefiuk, Reed Lebster, John Leonard, Jake McLaughlin, Peyton Reeves and Bobby Trivigno.
