Zach Hansen,  White Bear Lake, Senior, Defenseman

Austin Lee,  Bloomington Jefferson, Senior, Goalie
The 6-3, 185-pound Lee was an imposing obstacle for opposing offenses. Had a 1.77 GAA and save percentage of 92.2, was Minnesota's most consistent goalie and won the Frank Brimsek Award (for the state's top senior goalie). Set the school record for most victories with 55.
