Michigan's Strauss Mann, Michigan State's Patrick Khodorenko earn Big Ten hockey first-team honors

Michigan's Strauss Mann was named the Big Ten's Goaltender of the Year, and joined Michigan State forward Patrick Khodorenko on the all-conference first team.

Penn State's Cole Hults was named Big Ten Player of the Year and the Defensive Player of the Year, in postseason honors announced Monday, which were selected by the coaches and media voting panel.

Mann, a sophomore, had a 1.85 goals-against average and .939 save percentage in 35 games. Mann had six shutouts, including back-to-back against Michigan State in the Big Ten Tournament in what amounted to the final games of the season.
