SUPERIOR, WI— Sixteen different schools can boast RBK HOCKEY DIVISION III MEN’S ALL-AMERICAN selections in the
starry squads announced today at the NCAA Division III Men’s Championships hosted by the University of Wisconsin-Superior. Wisconsin-
River Falls led the way with four selections. Five of the recognized players will be in action this weekend as semifinalist Oswego State
boasts two All-Americans and fellow competitors Manhattanville, Middlebury, and St. Norbert claim one each.
The only repeat honorees are Augsburg College senior forward Aaron Johnson, a first-team choice last year and this year, and Norwich
junior forward Rick Cleaver, a second-teamer in 2006 and a first-team selection this year.
The RBK HOCKEY ALL-AMERICAN TEAMS are sponsored by RBK HOCKEY, an international leader in hockey equipment, and
chosen by members of the AMERICAN HOCKEY COACHES ASSOCIATION.
