STORRS, Conn. - The postseason honors continue to roll in for UConn junior Jonny Evans (North Delta, British Columbia) who was named a CCM/AHCA All-American for the 2020-21 season. The nation's top 24 college hockey players were announced tonight on the Hobey Baker Announcement program carried by the NHL Network.
Evans earned a spot on the East Second Team and in doing so becomes the first Husky to garner All-American honors since 1998. He is the eighth player in program history to be named an All-American.

Evans joins these former Huskies on the program's All-American list: 1998 - Erick Linkowski (2nd Team); 1996 - Ryan Equale (1st Team); 1995 - Bryan Quinn (2nd Team); 1993 - Chris Potter (2nd Team); 1992 - Bryan Krygier (1st Team); 1991 - Bryan Krygier (2nd Team); 1988 - Todd Krygier (1st Team); 1987 - Todd Krygier (2nd Team); 1986 - Harry Geary (2nd Team)
