He will share the Walter Brown Award with New Hampshire goaltender Ty Conklin. Senior Mike Lephart and freshman Chuck Kobasew will also receive major individual honors. Lephart will take home the Frank Jones Award as New England's most outstanding defensive forward, and Kobasew will capture the George Carens Award as the region's top rookie.
