ST. PAUL — University of Denver's Bobby Brink took home two of the top honors at the NCHC Awards Celebration on Thursday at the Science Museum of Minnesota.
Brink, a junior from Minnetonka, was named Forward of the Year and Player of the Year. Brink, a Philadelphia Flyers draft pick, was named one of 10 finalists for the Hobey Baker Award as the top player in NCAA Division I men's hockey earlier in the week.
The All-NCHC First Team, Second Team and All-Rookie Team were honored during the event.
Josh Fenton, who has served as NCHC commissioner since 2013, was also honored during the event. Fenton will leave his position to become the Summitt League commissioner in April.
