2005-06 INCH All-Americans

Inside College Hockey is proud to announce its fourth annual INCH All-America teams. The selections were made by Inside College Hockey editors and staff, with input from media and coaches from around the country.

The INCH All-America teams are not affiliated with those of the American Hockey Coaches Association, which will release its East and West All-Americans next week.

We prefer to see college hockey as a national game – thus our first-, second- and third-team All-Americans, plus our All-Rookie Team, are not divided on regional lines.

2005-06 ALL-AMERICA FIRST TEAM

Brian Elliott
Wisconsin
Junior
Goaltender

Statistics: 25-5-3, 1.55 GAA, .938 sv. pct., 8 SO

When he's been healthy, the Badgers have been the best team in the nation. Without him, they slumped.


Matt Carle

Denver
Junior
Defenseman

Statistics: 39 GP, 11-42—53, 58 PIM

The San Jose Sharks, who already boast CC alum Tom Preissing, may have found an even better blueliner from a Colorado school in Carle.


Andy Greene
Miami
Senior
Defenseman

Statistics: 39 GP, 9-22—31, 48 PIM

The first three-time first-team All-CCHA defenseman in 20 years, Greene does it all at both ends of the rink.


Chris Collins
Boston College
Senior
Forward

Statistics: 40 GP, 31-29—60, 26 PIM

The only player in Hockey East who could even approach Collins' impressive offensive numbers was Brian Boyle, who as Collins' linemate was a big beneficiary of his finishing touch.


Scott Parse
Nebraska-Omaha
Junior
Forward

Statistics: 41 GP, 20-41—61, 40 PIM

The nation's leading scorer for much of the season, Parse was the catalyst for a Maverick team that made its first NCAA Tournament appearance.


Ryan Potulny
Minnesota
Junior
Forward

Statistics: 41 GP, 38-25—63, 31 PIM

College hockey's premier sniper, Potulny was the biggest reason why Minnesota had the nation's second-best offense and fourth-best power play.
