Named Jim Johannson College Player of the Year
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - University of Minnesota men's hockey forward Logan Cooley was named USA Hockey's 2023 Jim Johannson College Player of the Year it was announced Thursday.
Cooley's prolific playmaking abilities helped the freshman to a team-best 60 points, which ranked second nationally and fifth in single-season program history for a first-year player. He earned a spot as a Hobey Baker Hat Trick Finalist and landed on the AHCA/CCM Hockey All-American West First Team after pacing all NCAA players with 38 assists and a +38 rating. Thanks to 12 points in six postseason games, Cooley landed on the NCAA Frozen Four All-Tournament Team, NCAA Fargo Regional All-Tournament Team and Big Ten Conference All-Tournament Team.
The Pittsburgh, Pa., native recorded at least one point in 32 of 39 games played, with multi-point efforts in 19 contests, and only once played back-to-back games without scoring a point. Cooley recorded a season-long point streak of 16 games from Jan. 14 to Apr. 6, totaling 11 goals and 22 assists for 33 points in that stretch. In his first year of college hockey, he led all B1G players by earning five Star of the Week honors during the campaign and was the league's scoring co-champion, along with linemate Jimmy Snuggerud, producing 36 points in conference play.
The No. 3 overall pick in the 2022 NHL Draft also represented Team USA at the 2023 IIHF World Junior Championship, helping the U.S. to a bronze medal. He registered a team-leading 14 points (seven goals, seven assists), good for second overall in the tournament and a spot on the Media All-Star Team.
USA Hockey will honor its service award recipients, players of the year, and other top award recipients during the President's Awards Dinner on June 9 as it hosts its 2023 Annual Meeting from June 7-10 in Denver.
