M. HOCKEY | Yale hockey forwards Sean Backman ’10 and Broc Little ’11 were named to the Reebok All-American second team on Friday.

The top two goal scorers on the nation’s highest scoring offense, Backman and Little led the Bulldogs to their second consecutive regular season ECAC title. Although Backman missed the playoffs with an injury, the Elis still went on to win their first postseason game in 58 years with a 3–2 upset over North Dakota.
