Three University of Minnesota Duluth freshmen -- forwards Quinn Olson and Luke Loheit, and goaltender Ryan Fanti -- have all qualified for a spot on the 2019-20 National Collegiate Hockey Conference All-Academic Team with Fanti and Loheit each receiving NCHC Distinguished Scholar-Athlete status.

To be eligible for the NCHC Academic All-Conference Team, a student-athlete must compile a 3.0 cumulative grade-point average (or better) and have completed a full academic year at their current institution. Similarly, for the NCHC Distinguished Scholar-Athlete honor, 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 the honors were first announced in February as they had not completed a full academic year, but with the 2019-20 academic calendar complete, the newcomers are now eligible to earn NCHC academic honors. Athletic success and playing time are not criteria for these awards. Athletic success and playing time are not criteria for these awards.
