MADISON, Wis.--University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point’s Jordan Fader was selected the Player of the Year to lead the individuals chosen to the 2022 All-Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (WIAC) Men’s Ice Hockey Team by the league coaches. In addition, UW-Eau Claire’s Ryan Ouellette received Newcomer of the Year honors, while UW-Stevens Point’s Tyler Krueger was selected Coach of the Year.
 
Fader led the conference with 15 goals and 31 points, while ranking second with 16 assists. He tallied three short-handed goals, two game-winning goals and two power-play goals. Fader recorded four goals against UW-Stout on Feb. 4, and tallied at least one point in 18 of 27 contests.
 
Ouellette topped the WIAC with a 1.66 goals-against-average, 470 saves and 1406:26 minutes. He compiled a 17-6-1 record and posted six shutouts. Ouellette had a season-high 37 saves in the WIAC Tournament/Commissioner’s Cup final against UW-Stevens Point on March 5. A Newcomer of the Year is defined as a student-athlete who used his first season of participation in men’s ice hockey this season. Transfers are not eligible unless they didn’t participate in men’s ice hockey at their previous institution.
 
UW-Superior’s Artur Terchiyev was the lone repeat selection on the first team from a year ago. UW-Superior’s Dylan Johnson was a first team choice in 2020 when he was chosen the Newcomer of the Year.
 
Krueger secured the coaching award for the second time in his career (2019). He led the Pointers to a 21-6-1 record and the WIAC regular-season championship this season. UW-Stevens Point accumulated at least 21 victories for third time in his five years in charge of the program.
 
An All-Sportsmanship Team was chosen for individuals that displayed exemplary sportsmanship throughout the season. It included one member from each school.
