ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- A record five members of the University of Michigan ice hockey team have been named 2020-21 Krampade All-American Scholars by the American Hockey Coaches Association (AHCA), the organization announced Monday (July 19).
Captains Jack Becker and Strauss Mann captured the honors along with freshmen Matty Beniers, Josh Groll and Steve Holtz. This is the third consecutive honor for Mann and the second for Becker.
Michigan posted a 15-10-1 record this season and earned its 38th selection to the NCAA Tournament. As the No. 2 seed, Michigan was unable to participate in the tournament due to COVID-19 protocols.
Earlier this spring, 13 members of the team earned Big Ten All-Academic honors, one (Becker) was named a Big Ten Distinguished Scholar and one (Mann) earned CoSIDA Academic All-District honors.
Due to the effects of COVID-19, the AHCA adopted revised criteria for this year's honorees. To qualify, a student-athlete must have attained a 3.6 grade-point average for each semester, regardless of whether the school's hockey team was able to play this season.
