The American Hockey Coaches Association (AHCA) this week announced its tenth‑annual All‑American Scholars team, a list that celebrates the sport’s top student‑athletes for excellence in the classroom as well as on the ice.
Scholar‑Athlete Recognition
To earn the distinction, a player must maintain a cumulative grade point average of at least 3.75 and must have appeared in at least 40 percent of her team’s games during the season.
This year, five members of the Harvard women’s ice hockey roster met those exact standards, earning a place among the honored scholars.
The recipients — Emily Davidson, Emily Hamann, Keira Ley, Alex Paulsen and Annie Sun — have each contributed markedly to the Crimson’s campaign, logging substantial ice time and helping shape a competitive schedule.
Their involvement has been pivotal in a season where Harvard has faced a rigorous slate of opponents, and their ability to balance demanding academics with a full‑time athletic commitment underscores the program’s culture.
