Burke wrapped up the most stellar season for a Catamount FOGO with single season program records for faceoffs won (240), faceoff win percentage (.698) and ground balls (125). He also scored three goals and dished out two assists on his way to being named to the America East All-Conference First Team, All-Rookie Team and All-Academic Team. Burke was also named the New England Player of the Year earlier this week – the first player in program history to earn that title.

McConvey provided steady consistency in the Vermont midfield all season finishing 2021 with team-highs in goals (37) and points (53). In the final two games of the season, he posted back-to-back six-point outings to reach the 100 career point milestone in just 33 career games. The All-Conference First Team selection scored a goal in all but one contest and has registered at least one point in every game during his career.

Burke and McConvey represent the first All-American selections since
Nick Washuta and Ian MacKay in 2018.
