Dugan, along with fellow sophomore Michael Callahan, were named First Team Hockey East All-Stars. Tyce Thompson was named a Second Team Hockey East All-Star and was also nominated for the Hobey Baker Award.
Thompson finished his sophomore campaign tied for third nationally in scoring with 44 points on 19 goals and 25 assists. He finished tied for first nationally in registering a point in 27 games this season. Ten of his 19 goals gave Providence a lead this year, which led all NCAA players.

Moynihan led all NCAA freshmen with 10 power-play goals. Rookie defensemen Max Crozier and Cam McDonald paced their fellow freshmen defenders with three game-winning goals each. Overall, freshmen accounted for nine of the Friars' 16 game-winning goals this season.
