BUFFALO — The American Hockey Coaches Association (AHCA) has announced its Men’s CCM Hockey Division II-III All-Americans and has tabbed Buffalo State goalie Mike DeLaVergne (Pawling, NY/Pawling) with third team honors.
The senior business major becomes just the third Buffalo State hockey player to garner All-America honors, joining forward Todd Nowicki (second team in 2001-02) and goalie Kevin Carr (third team in 2013-14).
DeLaVergne was also named the SUNYAC Goalie of the Year after backstopping Buffalo State to a program single-season record of 18 wins to go with a school-record 1.98 goals against average (10th-best in Division III) and .927 save percentage (18th in D-III) as the Bengals advanced to the SUNYAC Semifinals for the sixth-consecutive year.
The senior also set career school records with a .926 save percentage and a 2.23 goals against average while posting a record of 37-18-8.
A Buffalo State Scholar-Athlete Award winner, DeLaVergne is currently working to finish his degree while simultaneously playing professional hockey with the Macon Mayhem of the Southern Professional Hockey League.
All WNY is made possible thanks to coffee and sleep deprivation.
