Markell Earns Nomination for ECAC Hockey’s Student-Athlete of the Year

HANOVER, N.H. — Senior Harrison Markell was recognized as Dartmouth's nominee for the ECAC Hockey Student-Athlete of the Year Award, announced by the league on Monday.

The Student-Athlete of the Year award is presented annually to an ECAC Hockey men's player who best establishes himself as a leader within their team, in the classroom and in the community.

Ahead of the 2021-22 season, Markell was unanimously voted to be the 121^st captain in program history. A candidate for the 2021-22 Senior CLASS Award, Markell concluded his career with the Big Green over the weekend, playing in 90 games as a defenseman.

In addition to his contributions on the ice, Markell, a government major, has made his mark in the classroom as he is a three-time ECAC Hockey All-Academic selection and was named an AHCA All-American Scholar in 2019-20.

Outside of the classroom, Markell is the Director of the Canaan Club at Dartmouth. The Canaan Club consists of roughly 25 student-athletes who visit Canaan Elementary School to join the fourth graders in physical education class. They strive to create a positive environment while sharing their experiences in college and athletics.

ECAC Hockey will announce the three finalists on Friday, March 11, and the winner will be announced on Thursday, March 17.
