Similarly, to garner NCHC Distinguished Scholar-Athlete honors, a student-athlete must attain a 3.5 cumulative GPA or better with a full year of academic studies. Freshmen and first-year transfers were not eligible when NCHC academic accolades were first announced in late February, as they had not completed a full academic year, but with the 2023-24 academic calendar complete, the newcomers are now eligible to earn NCHC academic honors. Athletic success and playing time are not criteria for these awards.<br>\u00a0<br>Overall in 2023-24, Colorado College is tops among NCHC Academic All-Conference honorees for the second straight season with all 28 players on the roster garnering recognition.
