USCHO.com is reporting that--wait for it--Colby Cohen has been named a first team all-American in the East region for the 2009-10 season. What? I'm utterly floored by this. At the very least, Warso and Gryba were more solid D-line men this year for the Terriers. I'd like to echo redd10's sentiments that Cohen was definitely unprepared to make the leap to the pros--his slapper might have been pro ready and he put up good offensive numbers this year, but his D needs a considerable amount of work. Looking at the rest of the east first team--Bobby Butler, Nyquist, Cornell's Ben Scrivens, RPI's Chase Polacek--one of these things is not like the other. I wish other players who contributed as much to the Terriers this year could've received similar credit.
Still though congrats to CC, the voters for those awards know much more than I about hockey. I really hope he has a phenomenal pro career with Shatty, ZC, Yip and eventually Kieran. We still owe him for the championship. An unforgettable moment in this fan's life. Thanks Colby.
Well said.
