Men's Ice Hockey All-Ivy and Major Awards Announced

PRINCETON, N.J. -- Following another year of national success and a competitive league season, the Ivy League has announced the regular season major award winners and All-Ivy teams for men's ice hockey. 

After winning the Ivy League Rookie of the Year last season, Dartmouth defenseman CJ Foley has been named the 2024-25 Ivy League Player of the Year. The Hanover, Mass. native had 10 points in Ivy League play, scoring 4 goals and 6 assists in 10 Ivy League games while anchoring a defense that allowed 1.9 goals per game. He was a team-best +8 and blocked 17 shots, placing him in the top 10 of Ivy League skaters. For the overall season, Foley was tops on the team with 29 points, scoring 11 goals and adding 18 assists with 36 blocks. 

Mick Thompson entered the Harvard lineup and showed little first-year effects as he led the Crimson in scoring, leading to being named the Ivy League Rookie of the Year. The newcomer led Harvard with 4 goals and also added 4 assists for a team-high 8 points. He had 9 multi-point games during the regular season, with two of them coming against Ivy League opponents including a one-goal, two-assist performance in a 4-3 win over Yale near the end of the regular season. 

Dartmouth was named the 2024-25 Coaching Staff of the Year after securing their first Ivy League Championship since 2007. Led by Reid Cashman, Dartmouth started the season 6-1-1 and 3-0-0 in Ivy League play and rode that momentum through to an 8-2-0 record in Ivy League play, the outright Ivy League Championship, and their most wins in a season since 2017-18. 

Foley was one of two unanimous First Team All-Ivy selections, the other being Cornell’s Ryan Walsh. Walsh led the Ivy League in scoring with 15 points, on a league-best 9 goals and 6 assists. Cornell was one of two Ivy League members with two First-Team selections, with Tim Rego being the other Big Red player to be honored. Brown was the other school to have two All-Ivy First Teamers, with the Bears’ Tyler Kopff and Lawton Zacher joining Princeton’s Brendan Gorman to round out the All-Ivy First Team. 

Dartmouth led the way with four total All-Ivy selections as they placed a conference-most three members, Cooper Flinton, Hayden Stavroff, and Emmett Croteau on the All-Ivy Second Team. Harvard had two All-Ivy Second Team selections in Thompson and Ian Moore. The rest of the All-Ivy Second Team featured Dalton Bancroft of Cornell and Alex Pineau of Brown. 

Additionally, six student-athletes were named to the Ivy League Academic All-Ivy team: Brown's Brendan Clark, Cornell's Sullivan Mack, Dartmouth's Cam MacDonald, Harvard's Aku Koskenvuo, Princeton's Alex Konovalov and Yale's David Chen

Four teams will compete in ECAC postseason competition this weekend.
