UMary赢得全国最高社区服务奖在美国曲棍球协会分部II曲棍球

俾斯麦，和 The accolades for the 2019-2020 University of Mary hockey team continue to pile up. The American Collegiate Hockey Association (ACHA) awarded the Marauders hockey team the Men’s Division II 社区 服务 Award for their service to others in the Bismarck-Mandan community and surrounding areas.

This annual award recognizes outstanding contributions to local communities and or charitable organizations and representation of the ACHA during the 2019-2020 season. Some of the servant-leadership projects the 25-member team took part in over the course of the season — cut short by the COVID-19 pandemic — include: involvement with Freshmen Move-In Day; North Dakota Special Olympics State Bowling Championship; physical education efforts with New Salem ISD elementary school children; The Green Bandana Project in support of Mental Health Awareness; packing backpacks for local area students deemed in need of meals for the weekend, supporting over 1500 kids in the area each week; a Teddy Bear Toss game with over 500 bears; and a 军事 Appreciation Night which paired with a local 军事 Appreciation Classic Car show raising funds for local veterans and their families.

Marauders Head Hockey Coach Dan Huntley says this award exemplifies the mission of University of Mary 体育运动 — 美德成就伟大— a new comprehensive strategic plan announced in 2019 that aspires to remake the college athletic experience by challenging contemporary intercollegiate sports culture through virtuous leadership and whole person development, 学术和运动方面的卓越表现, 新建体育设施, 以及对健康的重新承诺, 所有学者运动员的安全和个人福祉. 美德成就伟大 returns the traditional collegiate sports experience back to its original focus—the formation of character.

亨特利说:“今年对我们的项目来说是了不起的一年. “Being it is only our second year in existence to have had the success on the ice and in the

classroom and now receiving national recognition for our off-ice contributions brings our program full circle. I am proud of our guys and blessed to be part of a university that stands for 美德成就伟大. 这是我们在UMary做事的方式，我们的员工已经接受了他们的角色. 每个学者运动员都以自己的方式受到影响, but in the end the time provided to help others and our communities is a way for them at a young age to learn to be selfless, better teammates and community members and build trust in each other through the relationships they’ve built with one another. Thank you to the ACHA for recognizing student athletes and their servant leadership.”

Despite having the ACHA Championship Tournament cancelled due to the pandemic, the University of Mary hockey team accomplished so much on and off the ice in only their second year in existence. In 2019-2020, Marauders hockey finished atop the Mountain West Collegiate Hockey League regular season standings; posted 39 victories — equaling the win totals of their inaugural season the year before — and earning an automatic berth in the national championship tournament; the ACHA named Huntley Coach of the Year; were ranked No.11项民意调查中有5项是全国第一，排名第一. 2 overall at the end of the season; earned a team GPA of 3.12; and five players garnered Academic All-American honors and two 2ndTeam members were named.

In just two years, Marauders hockey has become a national powerhouse on the ice and off. The University of Mary earlier this month announced plans for students and scholar athletes to return to campus for the fall semester beginning on September 8, 2020. 学校会有相应的程序, provisions and protocols in place in accordance with the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the North Dakota Department of Health (NDDOH).
