GREENWOOD, Ind. – University of New Hampshire senior men's hockey captain Alex Gagne (Bedford, N.H.) was named to the 2024-25 College Sports Communicators Academic All-District Men's At-Large Team. This is the second straight season he has earned this accolade.
The Academic All-District Team, selected by College Sports Communicators, recognizes the nation's top student-athletes for combined performance in athletics and the classroom (must have a 3.50 or higher overall GPA). The 12 sports which are included on the men's at-large ballot are fencing, golf, gymnastics, ice hockey, lacrosse, rifle, skiing, volleyball, water polo and wrestling.
Gagne graduated in May with a 3.58 GPA as a Sport Management and Leadership major. He was the sixth two-time captain in program history, was a nominee for the Hockey Humanitarian Award and was a two-time Hockey East Third Team All-Star (2024 and 2025). Gagne also won the 2025 Jim Urquhart Outstanding Student-Athlete Award which is the most prestigious UNH Athletics Award a student-athlete can win.
This past season, Gagne led the team in blocks (62) for the third consecutive year and he ranked fourth in Hockey East. He led UNH defensemen in goals (four), assists (13) and points (17). Gagne ranked first in the nation in defensive-zone puck battle wins, second in D-zone stick checks, third in D-zone denials and seventh in D-zone blocked passes. Gagne concluded his career with seven goals, 41 assists and 48 points while playing in 139 games.
