McIntyre Named Second-Team All-League

ALBANY, N.Y. - For the second consecutive season, Colgate’s David McIntyre (Pefferlaw, Ont.) has received postseason ECAC Hockey honors as the league office announced its end of season awards, late Monday.

McIntyre, a 2008-09 first team honoree, was chosen as a second team selection this time around by ECAC Hockey head coaches. The senior was joined by fellow forwards Colin Greening (Cornell) and Mario Valery-Trabucco (Union), defensemen Tom Dignard (Yale) and Taylor Fedun (Princeton) as well as goalie Allen York (Rensselaer) to comprise the second team.

McIntyre has posted 38 points (11 goals, 27 assists) in 33 games this season for the Raiders. The co-captain’s 29 points in ECAC Hockey games rank second among league skaters. As of March 2, he was tied for 37th nationally in points per game (1.12) and was tied for 15th with 0.79 assists per contest. McIntyre has tallied at least one point in 24 of 33 outings and has 10 multi-point games to his credit thus far.

Colgate, 15-13-6 overall and 12-8-2 in league play, clinched the fourth seed in the upcoming ECAC Hockey Tournament that gets underway this weekend. The Raiders gained a first round bye with a 3-2 victory over Rensselaer Friday evening and automatically advanced to the quarterfinals, when it will host a best of three series at Starr Rink, March 12-14. McIntyre will carry a streak of seven consecutive games with at least a point into the opening game of that series. During this recent stretch, he has posted two goals and seven assists.

On November 6, 2009, he became the 48th Raider to reach the 100-point milestone with a season-high four-point evening as Colgate rallied to defeat Harvard 5-4 in Hamilton. Since then, he has climbed to 25th place in the program’s storied history with 129 points, just five points from moving into 23rd.
