The ECAC West named its year-end award-winners on Wednesday, in addition to two All-ECAC West Teams, a team of honorable mentions and the All-Rookie Team.
Hobart took three of the four individual honors, as Mac Olson was named player of the year, Ben Gamache took home defensive player of the year honors and Mark Tyalor bagged coach of the year laurels.
Olson tallied 13 goals and 24 points in 25 games, while Gamache posted seven goals and 25 points over 21 contests.
Taylor led the Statesmen to a 19-4-2 overall mark, including 12-3-0 in the conference to finish atop the ECAC West in 2015-16.
