Junior defenseman Brian Gineo (South Windsor, Conn.) was named second-team all-conference by the league's coaches.

Ehn ranked second in the CHA in league points by a freshman with 14 and tied for the lead with six goals. In all games, his 22 points were third among all CHA freshmen and third on the team.
Charbonneau was second in the CHA in league plus/minus with a +2. His five points were tied for fourth. In all games, he was third among the Falcon defensemen with 12 points in 34 games.
Three Falcons were named to the CHA all-academic team. Matt Bader and Brooks Turnquist made the team for the second consecutive season while Mike Knaeble made the list for the first time.
