Two Ferris State University stars earned prestigious honors from the American Hockey Coaches Association as defenseman Zach Redmond and goaltender Pat Nagle were named All-Americans.
A fitting tribute to two seniors, Pat Nagle (Bloomfield) and Zach Redmond (Traverse City) of the Ferris State University men's ice hockey team, was paid Friday (April 8) evening as the pair were selected to the2010-11 American Hockey Coaches Association (AHCA) All-America Teams for NCAA Division I. Nagle earned first-team honors on the West Team while Redmond claimed second-team accolades. The two 2011 Hobey Baker Memorial Award candidates were among 24 individuals to be recognized on either the East or West Teams as each squad had six individuals on the first team and another six attained second-team accolades. The AHCA/Old Time Hockey All-America Ice Hockey Teams are sponsored by Old Time Hockey, an international leader in hockey-themed apparel, and chosen by members of the American Hockey Coaches Association. The All-America Teams were announced at the 2011 NCAA Men's Division I Frozen Four in St. Paul, Minn. Nagle and Redmond represent the sixth and seventh Ferris State skaters to receive All-America laurels. The two join the likes of Chris Kunitz (2002-03), Mike Brown (2002-03), Rob Collins (2001-02), Andy Roach (1995-96 and 1996-97), and John Gruden (1993-94). With his first-team designation, Nagle represents the fourth Bulldog to claim first-team All-America honors.
The history of the Bulldogs producing top-notch All-Americans continues with the recognition earned by Nagle and Redmond.
