Miskovic Earns First-Team All-America Honors

St. Lawrence University senior defenseman Zach Miskovic was named a first-team All America in voting by the American Hockey Coaches Association.

Miskovic joins Colgate’s David McIntyre as the ECAC Hockey representatives on the first team of the Reebok Division I East All America team. Brad Theissen of Northeastern was selected as the first team East goalie while Hobey Baker Award winner Matt Gilroy of Boston University was the other defenseman selected. Viktor Stalberg of Vermont and Colin Wilson of BU were the other East first team forwards in addition to McIntyre.

Zane Kalemba of Princeton was second team goalie while Maury Edwards of Lowell and Kevin Shattenkirk of BU were the second team defensemen. Mark Arcobello of Yale, Jacques Lamoureaux of the US Air Force Academy and James Marcou of UMass were the second team forwards.

Miskovic, the Saints’ 2008-09 MVP becomes the 37th All America in Saint program history and the 31st individual to earn All America honors. The Saints have had six two-time All Americas.

The senior defenseman from River Forest, IL, who led all Division I defensemen in goal-scoring in 2008-09 with 16, is the second Saint defenseman to earn first-team honors in the last three seasons. Drew Bagnall was a first-team selection in 2007. He is the 18th All America for the Saints in the tenure of head coach Joe Marsh.
