By contrast, only two of the West first team will graduate and only four of the 12 players honored on both teams. The 24 players were chosen by the nation's head coaches under the auspices of the AHCA, and sponsored for the first time by Jofa. The AHCA represents more than 800 ice hockey coaches of close to 300 institutions nationwide. Founded in 1947, the AHCA originally served only the Men's varsity college hockey community, but has now branched out to embrace the needs of all of amateur hockey in the United States, including women's hockey and non-varslty hockey. JOFA is a flagship brand of The Hockey Company, which through its subsidiaries, is the world's leading manufacturer and distributor of hockey skates, sticks, helmets and protective equipment, as well as National Hockey League authentic and replica jerseys.
Players come from eight states and six provinces.
