The Big Ten announced their season end awards on Tuesday and as you would expect a team that won the conference by nineteen points over the second place team the Minnesota Gophers took home a lot of hardware. Minnesota representatives were named the Big Ten Coach of the Year, Big Ten defensive Player of the Year, and Big Ten Player of the Year. The Gophers had three of the six players on both the All-Big Ten First and Second Teams, and three of the five players named to the All- Big Ten Freshman Team. There will be a rather large and heavy box of trophies being sent from the Big Ten offices to the Minnesota Hockey offices in the near future.
