        Clifford P. Fitzgerald Scholarship (for outstanding defenseman)
        Rich Brennan, defenseman
 
        Also, Braxxx Brennan said afterwards he would definitely return to
        BU next season.
 
        Joubert as captain was obvious (BU selects captains by a player vote)
        I was a little surprised Brennan was named MVP. Considering how many times
        Parker said his goalies (Herlofsky, McKersie) were the team's MVP afetrxx
        afetxx after winning them a ton of games the rest of the team didn't
        show up for in December and January. Brennan is perhaps the most talented
        player on the team, but the goalies were there every night oexx over the
        long haul.
 
        Joubert will be a LOT different than Friedman as captain. Joubert will be
        a much more vocal leader and will never be afraid to speak his mind
        when things aren't going well. He's got a hell of a job ahead, cleaning
        up the emotional mess from the Lake State game. He's go xxxx He's got
        to make the team like hockey again and get their minds off last saturday's
        shelling. It won't be easy.
