The Western Collegiate Hockey Association is proud to recognize 125 WCHA All-Academic Team honorees, presented by Sterling Trophy.
Representing all eight WCHA member institutions, the WCHA All-Academic Team includes student-athletes who have achieved at least sophomore status in their academic careers and have a GPA of at least 3.0 on a 4.0 scale in their previous two semesters or three quarters.
Minnesota’s 20 outstanding student-athletes leads the league, while Ohio State closely trailed the Gophers with 19 student-athletes named to the All-Academic squad this season. Minnesota State boasts 16 honorees and Wisconsin placed 15 on the All-Academic list. St. Thomas had 15 student-athletes on the All-Academic Team this winter and Bemidji State had 14 this season while St. Cloud State and Minnesota Duluth each tallied 13 All-Academic Team members apiece.
The WCHA All-Academic Team is collected with the help of the Faculty Athletic Representatives from each of the member institutions.
