Senior goalie Connor Toomey and junior forward Jordan Keizer have been honored by the American Hockey Coaches Association (AHCA) by being named to the West Region All-American team. Toomey was selected to the First Team while Keizer is a member of the Second Team. Last season, Toomey was a Second Team selection. The awards were announced at the Frozen Four banquet in Lake Placid, N.Y.
Toomey recently finished his MSOE career as the all-time leader in school history for wins (64), goals against average (2.32), save percentage (.913), saves (2480) and shutouts (10). He was named Midwest Collegiate Hockey Association (MCHA) All-Conference this season and was MCHA Player of the Year in 2010-11. Among all Division III players, Toomey is currently eighth in goals against average at 1.98 and tied for fifth with three shutouts.
Keizer also was selected MCHA All-Conference and he leads the country with seven short-handed goals and seven game-winning goals. He stands second in goals (23) and points (45) nationally. Keizer scored the most goals in MCHA play with 16 and was second with 34 points in conference action. He has 101 points during his three seasons at MSOE
The Raiders won the MCHA Harris Cup for the first time since 2006 by defeating Adrian 4-3 in overtime to clinch MSOE’s first ever appearance in the NCAA tournament. Keizer scored the game-winning goal in that contest. MSOE’s season came to an end when they fell to Gustavus Adolphus 3-1 in the first round of the NCAA Division III Championship earlier this month. The Raiders finished the season ranked No. 6 in the USCHO.com Division III national poll which is the highest ranking in MSOE history. The team was ranked in every poll this season.
