BOSTON, MASS. - The Gridiron Club of New England announced 36 semifinalists for the Silver Anniversary and 25th Joe Concannon Award, presented annually to the best American-born NCAA Division II/III hockey player in New England.
The award was established in 2001 shortly after the passing of longtime writer for The Boston Globe, Joe Concannon, who had a passion for the game of college hockey while advocating for amateur athletics.
