The Providence College men's hockey program earned five All-American Scholars – Kasper Bjorkqvist, Vincent Desharnais, Robbie Hennessey, Gabe Mollot-Hill, and Brian Pinho. Also earning five All-American Scholars was the Providence College women's hockey program – Kate Friesen, Chloe Gonsalves, Clare Minnerath, Maureen Murphy, and Blair Parent.
 
"We are extremely proud of this group of student-athletes who have competed at the highest levels of the game on the ice and matched that performance in the classroom," said AHCA executive director Joe Bertagna. "The sport demands a great deal from these athletes so it is a great statement they make, individually and collectively, with their ability to attain this level of academic achievement."
