GLOUCESTER, Mass. – Five members of the Union College men's hockey team were recognized as Krampade All-American Scholars for the 2021-22 season, the American Hockey Coaches Association announced last week.

Senior Fletcher Fineman and junior Merek Pipes earned the recognition for the third straight season, while senior Ryan Sidorski earned the distinction for the second year in a row. Senior Josh Kosack and first-year Collin Graf both earned the honor for the first time in their careers.
