UMD Bulldogs "ALLETE" Moments: Classroom
Throughout this year, UMD Athletics is partnering with Minnesota Power, ALLETE to highlight the Bulldogs accomplishments in the 3 C's: Classroom, Competition, Community.Â
Nine Bulldogs from the University of Minnesota Duluth Men's Hockey team have been named to the 2022-23 NCHC Academic All-Conference team, as announced by the conference Wednesday afternoon.Â

Blake Biondi,
Will Francis,
Owen Gallatin,
Darian Gotz,
Kyler Kleven,
Tanner Laderoute,
Luke Loheit,
Carter Loney,
Quinn Olson. Biondi, Laderoute, and Loheit also earned the NCHC Distinguished Scholar-Athlete recognition.Â
To be eligible for the NCHC Academic All-Conference Team, a student-athlete must compile a 3.0 cumulative grade-point average or better, while having completed at least one full academic year at his current institution. Student-athletes that have achieved a cumulative GPA of 3.5 or better are honored as NCHC Distinguished Scholar-Athletes, in addition to Academic All-Conference.
While freshmen and first-year transfers, including graduate transfers, are not currently eligible for the NCHC Academic All-Conference Team or Distinguished Scholar-Athlete recognition (due to not having a full year at their current school), those freshmen and transfers that achieve a cumulative 3.0 GPA or better at the conclusion of the 2022-23 academic year will be added to the Academic All-Conference Team over the summer. Similarly, any freshmen or first-year transfers who compile a 3.5 GPA or better will be named an NCHC Distinguished Scholar-Athlete.
