2021-22 CCM/AHCA Women’s Division III All-Americans Announced
NCAA Division III women’s head coaches have recognized the top 25 hockey players in their division by selecting them as CCM Hockey/AHCA All-Americans for 2021-22. The honorees come from 14 different schools, and 22 of the 25 are from the U.S., with one each from Ontario, Austria and Switzerland. The state of Minnesota, with four players, provided the most All-Americans.
Schools leading the way: Plattsburgh State and Wisconsin-River Falls, each with four honorees. By class, there are two graduates, 18 seniors, three juniors and two freshmen. Five players have been previously recognized: Plattsburgh’s Annie Katonka and Erin McArdle, Amherst’s Caitlyn Walker, and UW-RF’s Abigail Stow and Callie Hoff. Due to schedules being shortened by Covid-19, there were no All-American honors in 2021.
The CCM/AHCA HOCKEY ALL-AMERICAN ICE HOCKEY TEAMS are sponsored by CCM HOCKEY and chosen by members of the AMERICAN HOCKEY COACHES ASSOCIATION. CCM is the legendary hockey brand dedicated to the endless pursuit of performance by delivering game-changing, head-to-toe innovative hockey equipment to players worldwide.
