INCH Freshman All-America Teams

Inside College Hockey is proud to announce its sixth 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 are not divided on regional lines.

2006-07 ALL-AMERICA FIRST TEAM

J-P Lamoureux
North Dakota
Senior
Goaltender

Statistics: 27-10-4, 1.64 GAA, .936 sv%

Lamoureux, who gave up two or fewer goals in 21 of his 30 starts this season, is the first goalie to lead the WCHA in both GAA and save percentage since another former Sioux standout — Karl Goehring — did it in 1999-2000. He also led the nation in both categories.

Jack Hillen
Colorado College
Senior
Defenseman

Statistics: 41 GP, 6-31—37

The epitome of consistency on the blue line for the Tigers, Hillen had no point streaks longer than six games this season, but only had one scoreless stretch of more than two games. In CC's last 17 games, he recorded three goals and 17 assists

Mark Mitera
Michigan
Junior
Defenseman

Statistics: 42 GP, 2-21—23

Mitera's offensive improvement was noticeable, but his leadership and sound play in his own end have been his most significant contributions. He plays an average of nearly 25 minutes a game and has had a negative plus-minus rating in just two of his team's 42 games.

Ryan Jones
Miami
Senior
Forward

Statistics: 42 GP, 31-18—49

An impressive mix of size and skill, Jones ranks second in the country with 31 goals and shares the national lead in game-winning goals with seven. Of his 31 goals, 20 of them scored at even strength. He finished strong, with at least one point in 13 of the RedHawks' last 17 contests.

Nathan Gerbe
Boston College
Junior
Forward

Statistics: 41 GP, 30-30—60

The country's most exciting player, Gerbe ranks second in the nation in goals and points. He scored an amazing 13-14—27 over a nine-game stretch between Nov. 30-Jan. 18, and has 7-7—14 during the Eagles' current seven-game winning streak.

Kevin Porter
Michigan
Senior
Forward

Statistics: 42 GP, 33-29—62

Porter staked his claim to the title of the nation's best player early in the season by scoring 19-12—31 in the Wolverines' first 19 games — Michigan was 17-2-0 with a pair of one-goal losses during that span. The country's leader in goals and points, Porter is also a sound defensive forward and an elite penalty killer.
