PRINCETON, N.J. -- Yale senior forward
Andrew Miller (Bloomfield Hills, Mich.), who has
helped lead Yale to its fourth Ivy League title in the last five
years, was named the 2012-13 Men's Ice Hockey Player of the Year on
Thursday when the League's annual postseason honors were
announced.
Miller had 14 points in 10 League games to tie for the Ivy lead.
His 10 assists were the most in League play. Overall, Miller has 14
goals and 16 assists for 30 points, third-most in the League.
It is the third time in the last four years that a Bulldog has
been named Ivy League Player of the Year. Miller joins
Brian O'Neill (2012) and Sean
Blackman (2010).
Harvard freshman forward Jimmy Vesey (North
Reading, Mass.) was named the League's Rookie of the Year. He leads
all freshmen in the Ivy in overall scoring with 18 points on 11
goals and seven assists. In League play, Vesey had a goal and three
assists in nine games.
Miller was one of nine players selected to the All-Ivy first team
due to ties in the balloting. Miller was among five forwards as he
was joined by Brown sophomore Matt Lorito
(Oakville, Ontario, Canada), Cornell senior Greg
Miller (Toronto), Dartmouth sophomore Tyler
Sikura (Aurora, Ontario, Canada) and Princeton junior
Andrew Calof (Nepean, Ontario, Canada). Calof and
Andrew Miller were unanimous selections.
Calof leads the League in overall points with 36 (13g, 23a) and
had a League-best eight goals in Ivy play. Greg Miller is fourth in
points with 29 (14g, 15a), while Lorito (15g, 13a) and Sikura (10g,
18a) are tied for fifth with 28.
Three defensemen were named to the first team due to ties, as
well. Brown junior Dennis Robertson (Fort St.
John, British Columbia, Canada), Dartmouth senior Mike
Keenan (South Weymouth, Mass.) and Princeton senior
Michael Sdao (Niwot, Colo.) earned selections.
Brown senior goaltender Anthony Borelli (Grand
Island, N.Y.) was also named to the first team.
Keenan played in all 29 games this season to give him 103 for his
career, and has four goals and 10 assists on the year thus far.
Robertson has a team-high 14 assists for the Bears this season,
which is also second-most among Ivy defenders. Earning his
second-straight All-Ivy selection, Sdao leads all Ivy defenders in
goals this season with eight.
Borelli leads the League in goals against average at an impressive
1.77 while also recording an Ivy-best .943 save percentage. Those
also rank fifth and third in the nation, respectively.
Earning second-team All-Ivy honors were Dartmouth junior forward
Matt Lindblad (Winnetka, Ill.), Yale junior
forward Kenny Agostino (Flanders, N.J.), Yale
senior forward Antoine Laganiere (Ile Cadieux,
Quebec, Canada), Cornell sophomore defender Joakim
Ryan (Rumson, N.J.), Harvard senior defender Danny
Biega (Montreal), Princeton senior goalie Mike
Condon (Needham, Mass.) and Yale senior goalie
Jeff Malcolm (Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada). Biega
earned his second-straight All-Ivy selection.
Including honorable mention honors, Yale led the way with five
All-Ivy selections, followed by Princeton, Brown and Dartmouth
which each had three.
