ALBANY, N.Y. — Quinnipiac senior forward Bo Pieper (Roseville, Minnesota) is the recipient of the 2018 ECAC Men's Hockey Student-Athlete of the Year Award, ECAC Hockey announced today.
The league's most prestigious award is presented annually to a student-athlete who excels in the classroom, participates in a minimum of 50 percent of the team's games, and demonstrates leadership on and off the ice.
Pieper is the second consecutive Quinnipiac student-athlete to earn the award, joining former Bobcats standout Derek Smith, the 2017 recipient.
A Minnesota native, Pieper enjoyed a solid senior campaign in 2017-18, recording 11 goals — tied for third-most on the team — and seven assists for 18 points. He played in all 38 of the Bobcats' contests. Four of his 11 goals came via the power play and three were game-winning goals.
