Mike Crowley
Class of 2011
Hockey: 1994-97

Mike Crowley patrolled the Minnesota blueline from 1994-97 and was a two-time Hobey Baker Award finalist for the Gophers. He was the fourth two-time All-American in school history (1996-97) and was the 1997 WCHA Player of the Year.

The Bloomington, Minn., native was named First Team All-WCHA in 1996 and 1997 and led the team in scoring in 1997 with 56 points in 42 games. He joins Lou Nanne (43 points in the 1962-63 season) as the only other Gopher defenseman to lead the team in scoring in school history.

Crowley holds the two highest scoring seasons by a defenseman in school history with 63 points in 1996 and 56 points in 1997. His 47 assists in 1997 and 46 assists in 1996 also rank first and second in school history by a defenseman in a single season. The 17 goals he scored in 1996 rank third all-time for Gopher defensemen in a single season.

A sixth-round selection by the Philadelphia Flyers in the 1993 NHL Entry Draft, Crowley helped lead the Gophers to the 1995 NCAA Frozen Four as well as the 1996 WCHA Playoffs title and 1997 WCHA regular season crown.
