2010 AHCA/RBK Hockey All-American Team

LAKE PLACID, N.Y. – St. Scholastica senior #Jordan Chong# (Sr.-North Vancouver, B.C.) has been named to the American Hockey Coaches Association (AHCA)/RBK Hockey College Division West Region All-American First team; it was announced last night.

Chong is the third Saints player in the past two seasons to earn All-American accolades, but is the first CSS player since 1986 to earn first team status. The Saints have now had a total of 10 players named AHCA All-Americans. CSS also had 12 different players earn NAIA All-American accolades in the 70s and 80s.

Chong was arguably the best player in the Northern Collegiate Hockey Association (NCHA) this season. He led the conference, averaging 1.32 points per game, finished second in the league with 17 goals, and tied for third with 20 assists.

Chong finished tied for second in all of Division III hockey with six game-winning goals and was tied for third with four short-handed goals.

At one point during this past season, he scored at least one goal in eight straight games. After a slow start to the year, which saw him register just two points in the first seven games, Chong scored at least one point in 13 of the final 21 games.

Chong made things happen on the ice throughout his career as he finished with 46 career goals and 44 assists for 90 points. His six game-winning and four short-handed goals this season both tied program records for a season and his 12 career game-winning goals also tied a team record. His goals and assists numbers improved in each of his four seasons.

Four of the six west region first team slots were filled by NCHA players. David Martinson of Gustavus Adolphus College was named the Sid Watson Award recipient, symbolic of the nation's best Division III men's hockey player.
