PRINCETON, N.J. -- The Princeton men's hockey team held its annual post-season banquet last Friday night at the Nassau Inn in Princeton and handed out its five year-end awards. A great turnout of student-athletes, parents, alumni and staff honored the senior class and award winners, and celebrated one of the best seasons of men's hockey at Princeton.

The first award presented on the night was the Pre-Season Top Athlete Award, given annually to the best athlete on the team based on pre-season testing in the weight room and on the ice. The award was given to junior forward Lee Jubinville, who is the second-ever winner of the award. The award was first given in head coach Guy Gadowsky's first season at Princeton and Darroll Powe was the award winner the first three seasons it was given out.

The Hobey Baker Trophy was presented to freshman defenseman Taylor Fedun. The trophy is awarded annually to the team's freshman hockey player who, among his classmates, in play, sportsmanship and influence has contributed most to the sport. Fedun appeared in 32 games as a freshman on the Tiger blueline and scored four goals and added 10 assists for 14 points.

Next came the presentation of the Richard E. Vaughan Cup, awarded annually to that varsity player who best exemplifies perseverance and dedication to Princeton Hockey. And the winner as voted by his teammates was senior forward Kyle Hagel. Hagel played in 32 games as a senior and had five points for the Tigers, including a game winner against Yale.

Hagel and senior defenseman Mike Moore were both co-winners of the 1941 Championship Trophy, which is presented annually to that varsity player who best reflected the winning spirit of the 1941 championship team and in so doing was an inspiration to his teammates. Moore served as the team's captain as a senior and led all Tiger defensemen with 24 points on his way to being named a first-team All-America. Hagel was also an important leader on the team, both on and off the ice.

Lastly, Moore and Jubinville were both named co-winners of the Blackwell Trophy, which is annually awarded to that member of the Princeton varsity hockey team who in play, sportsmanship and influence has contributed most to the sport. The pair were both first-team All-Americas, first-team All-ECAC and first-team All-Ivy. Jubinville was the ECAC Player of the Year and a Hobey Baker Candidate, while Moore was the ECAC's Top Defenseman and recently signed with the NHL's San Jose Sharks.

The night concluded with words from each of the five members of Princeton's graduating class - Landis Stankievech, Erik Pridham, Moore, Keith Shattenkirk and Hagel.
