Boston, Mass. - For the second straight year, Jack Sullivan of Colby Men's Ice Hockey has been named one of 38 semi-finalists for the Joe Concannon Award. This award is presented annually to the best American-born NCAA Division II/III hockey player 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. Twenty-five institutions are represented in the slate of candidates that includes nine from the NESCAC. The last and only time a Colby Ice Hockey player won the award was Greg Osborne back in 2007.

The Gridiron Club will announce the finalists and winner of the 23rd Joe Concannon Award in March, following league playoffs and before the start of NCAA Frozen Four on March 22 & 24 on the campus of Trinity College in Hartford, CT.
