Jeff Wilson `02, captain of the hockey team, was named one of four national finalists for the Hockey Humanitarian Award as "college hockey's finest citizen" last week.
The Hockey Humanitarian Award Foundation gives this award annually to the college hockey player (male or female) exemplifying "accomplishments of personal character, scholarship, and the giving of oneself off the ice to the larger community."
The four national finalists were chosen by the Hockey Humanitarian committee from a pool of collegiate hockey players at all NCAA division levels. Wilson is the first Union athlete to be named a finalist for the award.
Wilson has been a leader in a number of community service projects including:
- "Dutchmen Skate for Cancer" (1998-2001)
- Big Brothers and Big Sisters Night (1998-2001)
- "Dutchmen Youth Reading Program" (2001-02),
- "Dutchmen Skate for 9/11" (2002)
