Inside College Hockey 2009-10
Preseason All-America Teams
Inside
College Hockey is proud to announce its 2009-10 Preseason
All-America teams. 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.
The
selections were made by Inside College Hockey editors and
staff, with input from media and coaches from around the country.

COLLEGE HOCKEY 2009-10
PRESEASON ALL-AMERICA FIRST TEAM |
Jacques Lamoureux
Air Force
Junior
Forward
|
2008-09:
41 GP, 33-20—53
Lamoureux, a returning Hobey Baker finalist, made a
name for himself last season as a sophomore with 33
goals and 53 points. The Falcons started the season
with a 13-game winning streak and Lamoureux was a big
part of it. He continued to rack up points and the Falcons
went on to win the regular-season and playoff titles
in Atlantic Hockey and upset Michigan in the first round
of the NCAA Tournament. |
David McIntyre
Colgate
Senior
Forward
|
2008-09:
37 GP, 21-22—43
This
returning Hobey Baker finalist ranked among the nation's
leaders in key offensive categories and is one of the
best players in the country. You won't see Colgate on
television every week, but if the Raiders are coming
to a rink near you, be sure to check out McIntyre before
you've got to pay NHL ticket prices to do so. |
Jordan Schroeder
Minnesota
Sophomore
Forward |
2008-09:
44 GP, 13-32—45
He was the nation's leading freshman scorer last year
and recorded at least one point in all but five games
he played in for the Gophers. Schroeder ended the season
with an eight-game point streak during which he tallied
11 points. He was expected to be a high pick in the
NHL draft but slid to the later stages of the first
round. Could that provide the motivation to avoid a
sophomore slump? |
Ian Cole
Notre Dame
Junior
Defenseman |
2008-09:
38 GP, 6-20—26
Cole, a first team All-American last season, contemplated
trading Notre Dame's blue and gold for similar colors—
those of the St. Louis Blues, the team that took him
in the first round of the 2007 NHL Draft. He's back
with the Irish for at least one more season, terrorizing
opponents with his offensive acumen and menacing 6-1,
220-pound frame. |
Chay Genoway
North Dakota
Senior
Defenseman
|
2008-09:
42 GP, 3-29—32
Genoway is college hockey's version of Illinois quarterback
Juice Williams—it seems like he's been at North
Dakota forever. Fighting Sioux fans wouldn't
mind a few extra years of his production. The reigning
WCHA Defensive Player of the Year is also a dangerous
threat on offense; he's scored 80 points in three seasons,
including a career-high 32 points last season. |
Zane Kalemba
Princeton
Senior
Goaltender |
2008-09:
22-10-1, 1.82 GAA, .932 sv. pct.
Kalemba was the breakout star last year for Princeton
as the Tigers made their second straight trip to the
NCAA Tournament. He had 22 wins, a .932 save percentage
and a 1.82 goals-against average and was a Hobey Baker
top 10 finalist. Princeton's 2008-09 season will be
remembered for the ones that got away but Kalemba leads
a talented group of returners with a chance to erase
those memories.

We select
our Preseason All-Rookie Team with a slightly different approach
than our Recruiting Rankings, which are based on talent and
potential impact over four years. Here we measure potential
impact just as freshmen.
