University of Minnesota Duluth men's hockey player Max Plante earned one last award for his sophomore season Wednesday, named to the 2025-26 Academic All-America® at-large teams selected by the College Sports Communicators.

The academic honor -- Plante's second Academic All-American nod this season after being named a ACHA All-American last month -- joins a long list of honors the Hermantown, Minn. native has pocketed this season. The 2026 Hobey Baker Award winner, Plante previously earned district academic team accolades with a 3.58 cumulative GPA in Communications this year. Plante was also the USA Hockey's College Player of the Year, USCHO's Player of the Year, was a First Team 2025-26 CCM/AHCA Hockey All-American and the NCHC Player of the Year and the NCHC Forward of the Year.

Plante becomes just the fifth-ever CSC All-American for the Bulldogs, and the first since Tanner Laderoute earned the honor in 2023. Previously winners were Kyle Schmidt in 2011 and Jeff Scissons and Dan Shroyer in 2000.
