TROY — The 2010-11 hockey season must be viewed as a memorable one for the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute program, even if the Engineers' final game of the season may have had few memorable moments.

Rensselaer's 6-0 drubbing at the hands of top-ranked North Dakota in the NCAA Tournament ended a campaign in which the Engineers reached the national event for the first time in 16 years, won 20 games (20-13-5) for the first time since 2003-04 and saw Chase Polacek win the ECAC Hockey Player of the Year award for the second straight year.

Polacek again led the league in scoring and junior goaltender Allen York was among the leaders nationally in goals against average and saves percentage for most of the season. He finished with a 2.17 GAA, 92.4 saves percentage and an 18-11-4 record.
