The Hockey Humanitarian Award Foundation announced 14 nominees for the 2025 Hockey Humanitarian Award on Tuesday afternoon.
The award, which is celebrating its 30th anniversary season, is presented annually to college hockey’s finest citizen — a student-athlete who makes significant contributions not only to his or her team but also to the community-at-large through leadership in volunteerism.
