ROCHESTER, N.Y.. - Air Force junior Greg Flynn and senior Eric Ehn earned all-conference honors from the Atlantic Hockey Association as announced at the league's banquet, Thursday, March 13, at the RIT Inn and Conference Center in Rochester, N.Y.
Flynn was a second-team selection while Ehn was named to the third team.
Flynn, a defenseman from Lino Lakes, Minn., is second in the league and fourth in the nation in points by a defenseman with 30 points (8-22-30). His +15 is tied for the team lead and best among the Falcon defensemen. He was named the AHA Player of the Week, Oct. 22, the first league honor of his career, when he scored three points (1-2-3) in AFA's sweep of 14th-ranked Quinnipiac. Flynn is one of just four defensemen in the nation to have 30 or more points and is the first Falcon defenseman with 30 or more points since Beau Bilek had 37 points in 1994-95. He had four points in the AHA quarterfinal series vs. Bentley, March 7-9, to help Air Force advance to the AHA Final Five.
Ehn, a center from Dexter, Mich., is an assistant captain and ranks seventh in the AHA in points per game with 1.04 (25 points in 24 games). He is also third in the AHA and tied for 13th in the nation in assists per game with 0.79 (19 in 24 games). Before suffering a leg injury vs. Colorado College, he led the league in assists and was second in points. Fifteen of his 19 assists this season have been first assists. He was the AHA Player of the Week when he scored five points in the Holy Cross series. He has missed the last 12 games with a fractured left fibula and ligament damage in his left ankle suffered in the Colorado College. Ehn ranks 11th in career scoring at the Academy with 145 points in 130 career games. He has scored more points than any other Falcon in the last 22 years.
The remainder of the all-conference team and major award winners are attached.
Air Force (19-11-6 overall) is the No. 2 seed in the AHA Final Five and faces No. 2-seed RIT in the semifinals, Saturday, March 15, at 7:35 p.m. ET at the Blue Cross Arena in Rochester, N.Y.
