by Mike McPartlin, Headmaster, Bridgedale Academy
Bridgedale Academy grad Tanner Hartman has just wrapped up a truly amazing 2023-24 NCAA D3 college hockey season.
The star sophomore's list of individual and team awards is truly astounding.
Tanner and his Hobart teammates repeated as NCAA National Champions, defeating Trinity College and Bridgedale grad Jakob Karpa in a 2-0 thriller. (Trinity had defeated Adrian College and Bridgedale grad Anton Sorensen in the semis.)
The Statesmen also repeated as New England Hockey Conference (NEHC) league and playoff champions.
Along the way Tanner led his team in goals (20), assists (25), points (45), game winning goals (6) and plus/minus (+42). He also scored the team's lone short-handed goal.
For his play during the season and playoffs, Tanner was named:
- NEHC 1st Team All-Conference
- NEHC All-Tournament Team
- AHCA 1st Team All-American
- NCAA Elite 90 Award
- NCAA All-Tournament Team
The NCAA Elite 90 Award went to Tanner as the student-athlete with the highest cumulative GPA participating at this year's D3 college hockey championships. The NCAA presents only one Elite 90 Award per year for each of the NCAA's 90 National Championships.
Tanner, the consummate student-athlete, carries a 4.0 GPA at Hobart.
All in all, one very amazing college hockey season.
