HANOVER, N.H. – All 28 members of the Dartmouth men's team have been named to the 2020 ECAC Hockey All-Academic Team as announced by the league office Tuesday afternoon.

The Big Green had 27 players selected last year, marking the slight improvement to 100 percent participation in 2019-20.

Players are eligible for the All-Academic team if they earn a cumulative grade point average of at least a 3.00 on a 4.00 scale or have a GPA over 3.00 over the past three semesters. One student-athlete from each institution was honored on the Commissioner's List, showcasing each program's top scholar from the 2019-20 season. Dartmouth's honoree this year was senior Cam Strong.

An alternate captain this past season and the lone player from Montana playing Division I hockey on the men's side, Strong played in all 31 Dartmouth games, accumulating eight points on six goals. Strong was also the program's nominee for ECAC Hockey Student-Athlete of the Year and, for the second time in his career, named the recipient of the team's McInnis Award as "Sportsman of the Year."

This past year's nine graduating seniors in the Class of 2020 all earned the honor. In each of the four seasons the nine players were in Hanover, they all reached the GPA mark and earned the league's academic distinction.

Five of the juniors were recognized for the third straight year, while the six sophomores also are a perfect two-for-two.

The 28 selections was tied for the second most of any of the 24 men's and women's teams in ECAC Hockey.
