*Denotes unanimous selection

These three offensive powerhouses dominated on their individual teams this season. For a combined total of 84 points, these forwards were a huge threat on the ice.

One of two unanimous selections for this group, Clarkson’s Ayrton Martino kicks off the First Team representatives. Martino was a force on the ice this season, leading the league in goals with 21, in which there was a 7 goal differential between first and second place. The senior also tallied 17 assists (T-2 in ECAC), giving him a total of 38 points and lead the league by over 10 points. The Toronto, Ontario native had the highest shot percentage at 0.38 and an impressive 7 game winning goals for the Golden Knights.

Teammate Ellis Rickwood of Clarkson joins the group, where he scored 6 goals and led the league in assists with 18. A point total of 24 places him tied for 2nd in the league. The center from Brantford, Ontario also dominated at the faceoff dot, winning 58% of his 424 faceoffs taken (3rd in ECAC). Rickwood also shined on the powerplay unit for the Golden Knights, where 4 out of 6 of his goals this season came from the man advantage.

Colgate’s Brett Chorske rounds out the offensive line, in which he scored 10 goals and 12 assists (6th in ECAC for points). The Edina, Minnesota native was an important piece of Colgate’s success this season, notching two game winning goals and two power play goals, leading the Raiders in points at the end of the season. Chorske was also critical at the faceoff dot, with a 0.54 win percentage on 409 faceoffs this season. 

Back in the defensive zone is Trey Taylor of Clarkson. The junior was effective on both ends of the ice, scoring 6 goals and 12 assists, finishing as the top defenseman for Clarkson in points. Taylor was an asset to Clarkson’s second place powerplay in the league, in which he converted these opportunities into 3 powerplay goals. The Richmond, BC native also had the 6th most blocked shots in the league with 38.

The second unanimous decision is Dartmouth’s CJ Foley. Last year’s ECAC Hockey Rookie of the Year and member of both the Third and All-Rookie teams, Foley makes the jump to All-ECAC Hockey First Team this season. The defenseman scored 9 goals and 15 assists totaling 24 points. This effectively placed him tied for second in the league and first overall for Dartmouth. On the defensive end of things he had 28 blocked shots and a shorthanded goal against Cornell. The Hanover, Mass native ended the season with an impressive +11 rating overall.

The netminder completing the team is Ethan Langenegger of Clarkson. The Graduate Student made an immediate impact in his first season with the Golden Knights. Appearing in 20 contests for Clarkson (a 13-6-1 record), the Kamloops, BC native totaled 450 saves for a 0.913 save percentage (3rd in ECAC). Langenegger only allowed an average of 2.23 goals against (4th in ECAC) and was an essential anchor for Clarkson's second overall finish in the ECAC.
