WATERBURY, Conn. -- Making strides on and off the ice this season, Post University Men's Ice Hockey earned its second Northeast-10 Academic Team Excellence Award in program history, reaching a 3.77 GPA for the entire 2024-25 academic year, surpassing the 2022-23 mark they set en route to their first Academic Team Excellence Award, when they had a 3.46 GPA that season. 

The award comes on the heels of nearly every single player being eligible for the NE10 Honor Roll in the fall as well as the soon-to-be released NE10 Honor Roll for the spring as 30 of a possible 31 players were named to the Honor Roll in the fall, while 29 of 31 were eligible for it in the spring as they achieved GPAs over a 3.00 average.

Eight players currently have perfect 4.0 cumulative GPAs: Senior defenseman Tommy Buis, freshman defenseman Aidan Canady, junior goalie Benjamin Cunneen, freshman goalie Sam Edmands, freshman forward Jonathan Meijer, freshman defenseman Eoin Reager, senior goalie Zach Richards, and freshman forward Zach Richards.

The Eagles posted a 3.81 GPA as a team in the fall before going for a 3.71 GPA in the spring, averaging out to a 3.77 GPA overall based on the number of hours attempted and total quality points achieved as a team this year.

Post University is scheduled to get its 2025-26 campaign underway against Western Connecticut State University at home on Saturday, November 1st at a time to-be-determined, after finishing this past season 11-16-0 with a 9-11-0 record in conference play before bowing out of the NE10 Tournament's First Round against fourth-seeded Assumption on the road in a 3-0 loss.
