PURCHASE, N.Y. – The Manhattanville University men's hockey team had eight student-athletes named to the tenth installment of the Krampade All-American Scholars list, presented by the American Hockey Coaches Association (AHCA).

Manhattanville's honorees are part of the 550 male honorees recognized by the AHCA on Wednesday across Division II and Division III. To be eligible to be named as a Krampade All-American Scholar, student-athletes needed to have earned a 3.75 GPA or higher in both semesters of the 2025-2026 academic year while playing in 40 percent of their team's games. Exceptions were made to the games played criteria due to injury or for backup goaltenders.

Six of the Valiants' All-American Scholars are repeat honorees from the 2024-25 academic year. Caden Eaton (Indian River, Mich./Cornwall Colts (CCHL)), Ryan McKenna (Spokane, Wash./Sheridan Hawks (NA3HL)), Lane Paddison (100 Mile House, Canada/Canmore Eagles (AJHL)), Corey Popowcer (Parkland, Fla./Vermont Lumberjacks (EHL)), Zach Turner (Eagle, Colo./Powassan Voodoos (NOJHL)) and Cameron Vassos (Caledon, Ontario/Navan Grads (CCHL)) were each recognized by the AHCA and Krampade as All-American Scholars a year ago. Junior Justin Fernet (Sherbrooke, Quebec/Taft School) and freshman Brandon Paluszak (Powell, Ohio/Gilmour Academy) round out Manhattanville's honorees, both being named All-American Scholars for the first time in their careers.

Paddison graduates as a four-time All-American Scholar, earning the distinction in each year with Manhattanville.

The Valiants had the third-most honorees amongst the UCHC's nine members, trailing only Chatham (nine selections) and Albertus Magnus (24).
