Imagine going off to college and majoring in physics or engineering or economics or management and pulling a 3.6 grade-point average. Not too shabby.

Imagine doing that while playing an NCAA Division I sport. That’s impressive.

Now imagine accomplishing that while playing a D-I sport at a U.S. service academy. More than impressive

Thirteen Air Force Academy hockey players met that criteria while playing in 40 percent or more of the Falcons’ games during the 2016-17 season. The 13 were recognized this week by the American Hockey Coaches Association as All American Scholars. The number tied Robert Morris for second most in Atlantic Hockey – and in all of Division I, behind American International’s 14. Ferris State also had 13 players honored.

The 13 are:

D Dylan Abood (electrical engineering, class of 2018)

F Erik Baskin (economics, class of 2018)

D Phil Boje (management, class of 2018)

F Evan Feno (economics, class of 2019)

F Kyle Haak (physics/nuclear weapons, class of 2019)

F Jordan Himley (economics, class of 2018)

D Johnny Hrabovsky (systems engineering, class of 2017)

D Matt Koch (operations research, class of 2019)

D Jonathan Kopacka (management, class of 2018)

F Ben Kucera (management, class of 2018)

F Tyler Ledford (management, class of 2018)
