BEVERLY, Mass. — Endicott College men's ice hockey student-athletes Andrew Kurapov (Corvallis, Ore.) and Ryan Willett (Bayville, N.Y.) have been named semifinalists for the 24th Joe Concannon Award — presented annually to the best America-born NCAA Division II/III college hockey student-athlete in New England.
The Joe Concannon Award was established in 2001 shortly after the passing of the longtime writer for The Boston Globe, who had a great passion for the game of college hockey while always advocating strongly for amateur athletics.
