It’s hard to remember now, but the Notre Dame hockey team’s season ended before sports were shut down. With everything going on, people surely forgot that Big Ten honors still had to be distributed. That finally happened Monday.
Junior defenseman Matt Hellickson and senior goaltender Cale Morris both were named Honorable Mention All-Stars. Senior forward and team captain Cal Burke became a Big Ten Sportsmanship Award honoree. A media voting panel and conference coaches selected the honorees.
Eleven of Rogers’ 16 points came on assists. He tied with Nick Leivermann for most goals on the team by a defenseman with five and had a team-leading three game-winning goals.
Morris ended his career with the top save percentage in program history (.931) and second all-time in wins (58) and goals-against average (2.18).
Burke won a Big Ten Sportsmanship Award for the second year in a row. He also was a finalist for the Senior CLASS and Hockey Humanitarian awards.
