Seven players competing for an NCAA Division I Men's Ice Hockey Championship in Buffalo, NY, this weekend have been honored as JOFA ALL-AMERICANS for 2002-03. Heading the list are Cornell University and the University of New Hampshire, each with three selections.
The twenty-four players recognized include eleven seniors, seven juniors, and six sophomores. Twelve players come from the United States, ten from Canada, one from Slovakia, and one from Sweden. Nine of the ten Canadians are from Western Canada. In addition to traditional U.S. sources like Minnesota, New England, and New York, this year's American players also hail from California, Illinois, Indiana, and Pennsylvania.
The JOFA ALL-AMERICAN ICE HOCKEY TEAMS are sponsored by JOFA, an international leader in hockey equipment, and chosen by members of the AMERICAN HOCKEY COACHES ASSOCIATION.
