The following is based on a release issued by Hockey East on July 18, 1996.
With 45 student-athletes named to its 1995-96 All-Academic Honor Roll,
Hockey East established a new record for the most players named in a
season. The Honor Roll was first instituted in 1989.
Leading the way was Top Scholar-Athlete Tomas Persson (Gavale, SWE) of
Northeastern, who compiled a 3.918 GPA for the year in International
Business and Finance, including a 4.0 in his second semester.
To qualify for the honor, a student-athlete must post a 3.0 GPA on a 4.0
scale for both of the semesters during which he played hockey.
Persson, a senior, joins an elite list of Hockey East players to receive
the Distinguished Scholar Award for being named to the Honor Roll all four
years that he played hockey. Only ten Distinguished Scholars have ever
been named by the league. Persson is Northeastern's third Distinguished
Scholar, tying a record held by Merrimack.
Also of note is that for the fourth straight year, Merrimack both led the
league in having the most student-athletes named to the Honor Roll and set
a new record in the process. This year, 13 Warriors were named, breaking
the record of 10 set by Merrimack in 1994-95. Merrimack had 9 honorees in
both 1993-94 and 1992-93.
Four 1996-97 returning seniors-to-be are eligible as Distinguished Scholars
next year, as they have been named to the Honor Roll for three years
straight. They are: Rob Beck and Tom Johnson (Merrimack), Craig Lindsay
(Mass Lowell), and Dan Shermerhorn (Maine).
