Carosi Named First-Team All-American
BRUNSWICK, Maine - Bowdoin
College men's ice hockey player Michael
Carosi (Warwick, R.I.) was named a
first-team All-American today by the American
Hockey Coaches' Association. Carosi, a
senior captain on this
year's squad, finishes his career as one of the
top scorers in school history, with 124
points.
The Toll Gate graduate had a fantastic season, accumulating a career-high 47 points on 13 goals and 34 assists. He received the New England Small College Athletic Conference Player of the Year award and was honored as national player of the week earlier in the season. He was also nominated for the American Hockey Coaches' Association Division III Player of the Year Award.
"Michael has had a career year
that is really deserving of this kind of award,"
according to Coach Terry
Meagher. "To be named first-team
All-American is an extraordinary
accomplishment and it's a positive
reflection on him and the way he plays the
game."
Carosi was also the recepient of Bowdoin's Outstanding First-Year Athlete Award as a freshman and a four-year letterwinner at Toll Gate where he was All-State his senior season. In a bizarre coincidence, the last two first-team All-Americans at Bowdoin- Carosi and Charlie Gaffney in 1994-95, were both Toll Gate graduates and hailed from Warwick, R.I.
"It's such a difficult honor to receive, with only six players in the East being selected" says coach Meager. "Our program is so proud of Michael and the fact that he can now join a long list of Bowdoin players who have received one of the highest individual collegiate honors."
