Multiple alumni were named their conference’s Player of the Year, including Hobey Baker Award top ten finalists Isaac Howard (Big Ten), Ryan Leonard (Hockey East), Alex Tracy (CCHA) and Zeev Buium (NCHC).

The USHL also produced elite goaltenders, with Trey Augustine (Big Ten) and Simon Latkoczy (NCHC) receiving Goalie of the Year honors for their respective conferences.
