** Stolen, with no shame, from our friend BU Hockey Stats
Cole Hutson, who previously was the Toledo Regional Most Outstanding Player, MVP of the Beanpot and the top scorer at the 2025 World Junior Championships--among others, added two more honors on Friday. He was named Tim Taylor National Rookie of the Year and a first-team CCM/AHCA All-American.

Terriers have won the top rookie award back-to-back as Macklin Celebrini claimed it a year ago. BU has had five top national rookies in the past 11 seasons. The other three were Jack Eichel (2015), Clayton Keller (2017) and Joel Farabee (2019). Kieran Millan won the award in 2009 when he backstopped the Terriers to the 2009 national championship. Lane Hutson was the runner-up in 2023.
“I couldn’t have done it without my teammates, coaches and family. It’s a lot of hard work,” Hutson said at the NCAA awards ceremony. “It means a lot to not only me, but I know my family was super proud, too.”
“Not really too focused on the
individual awards. I think it’s obviously a team game, and we’re going
to need everybody to pull some weight to win,” he explained.
Hutson joins a long list of BU defensemen who have earned first-team All-American honors, including Lane Hutson (2023, 2024), David Farrance (2020, 2021), Charlie McAvoy (2017), Matt Grzelcyk (2015, 2016), Matt Gilroy (2008,2009) Tom Poti (1998) and Jack O'Callahan (1979).
