HANOVER, N.H.—On Wednesday, Dartmouth men's hockey held its annual end of season banquet and handed out the end of season awards.
Dartmouth forward Hayden Stavroff earned the Booma Award given to the first-year player of Dartmouth men's hockey who through determination, desire, dedication, and ability earns the "Rookie of the Year" award. The award is given in honor of Roland C. Booma '30, an all-around Dartmouth athlete including football and baseball as well as hockey.
Stavroff skated in 31 games for the Big Green and scored 10 goals and added 12 assists while earning All-Ivy Second Team honors.
Alex Krause was the recipient of the John Manser Award which is awarded to the "Most Improved Player". The award is given in honor of George "Johnny" Manser '26, Captain of the 1926 varsity men's hockey team and the Friends of Men's Hockey First President.
Krause saw a jump in both games played and points in 2024-25 as he played in 31 games for the Big Green while scoring a career high four goals and adding a career high eight assists.
Junior forward Cam MacDonald was awarded the Smoyer Award which is awarded to the varsity player who has made the most unusual contribution to Dartmouth men's hockey that year. The contribution is measured more by intangible factors than statistical results – in short, the "Unsung Hero." The award honors Bill Smoyer '67, Captain of the 1967 Dartmouth men's hockey team and an outstanding soccer player who was killed in Vietnam.
MacDonald played in all 33 games as a junior, he scored a career high six goals while picking up a career high 10 assists. He blocked 13 shots for the Big Green while being a key contributor on the Dartmouth penalty kill.
Senior Captain Steven Townley was named 'Sportsman of the Year' and was awarded the McInnis Award. The award is given to the player that has best reflected spirit, camaraderie, loyalty and dedication to Dartmouth men's hockey and to Dartmouth College. The award is in honor of Philip McInnis '36, President of the Friends of Men's Hockey from 1979 through 1984.
The Woodstock, Vt. native closed out his career with his hometown team in 2024-25 after 119 career games. This season he scored four goals along with four assists while also being one of five national finalists for the Derek Hines Unsung Hero Award.
CJ Foley took home the Phelan Award given to the player that demonstrated outstanding skill at his position, continued aggressiveness and team spirit, deserves to be named as the "Most Valuable Player of the Year". The award is in honor of ardent Dartmouth hockey enthusiast, Martha M. Phelan, wife of John Phelan '28 and mother of John Phelan, Jr. '63, Captain of the 1963 Dartmouth men's hockey team.
Foley had one of the best seasons in Dartmouth history for a defenseman as he skated in 33 games with 11 goals and 19 assists. Following the season, he was named Ivy League Player of the Year, First-Team All-Ivy, First Team All-ECAC, and an ECAC Player of the Year finalist.
Nikita Nikora and Foley were both honored as the "Friends of Dartmouth Men's Hockey Leading Scorer" as the duo finished tied in points with 30 points.
Nikora was one of the top assist men in the country as he had 26 assists along with four goals as a sophomore. Both he and Foley were Hobey Baker nominees. Nikora has 50 career points in 58 games through two seasons while Foley has 50 points in 65 career games.
