All-CHN Teams
OMAHA, Neb. - Omaha junior forward Ryan Walters was named to the All-College Hockey News First Team on Tuesday, one of five players from the Western Collegiate Hockey Association named to either the first or second team.
Walters earned strong consideration for the Hobey Baker Award by scoring 52 points (22-30-52) this season. He scored points in 28 of the last 32 games (22-27-49). His plus/minus rating of +26 is a school record. He finished as the WCHA's Scoring Champion with 16 goals and 24 assists for 40 points and was named to the All-WCHA First Team and the All-WCHA Academic Team. He was also a WCHA Scholar Athlete.
Walters was named the Hockey Commissioners Association national player of the month for November, the first Maverick in recent memory to win the award. Walters had six goals and nine assists for 15 points and a +8 rating in seven games to help the Mavericks to a perfect 7-0-0 record. During that stretch, he scored goals in five straight games. After being held off the board in the first game of the month, he scored at least two points in each of the other six games and extended his point streak into December with two assists in UNO's 3-2 loss at Minnesota on Dec. 1.
With 52 points this season, Walters tied for the second highest single-season point total in school history with the school's all-time leading scorer, Scott Parse, who had seasons of 61 and 52 points as a junior and senior respectively.
Walters' 22 goals are tied with David Brisson (2001-02) for fourth best in UNO history. He has earned 100 career points, one of just 13 Mavericks to reach that mark. Walters also has played in 114 consecutive games, missing only one in his UNO career.

The Hobey Baker Award winner will be announced Friday, April 12 from Consol Energy Center in Pittsburgh, Pa. during the NCAA Frozen Four. The award announcement will be televised live on NHL Network or live on the Hobey Baker website at 6:00 p.m. ET.
