\nMcCann was presented the award at the American Hockey Coaches celebration in April at The Naples Beach Hotel & Golf Club in Naples, Fla.<\/p>\n


\n\u201cThis year\u2019s award was very special, because I was nominated by my three captains, Chelsea Skorupski, Lynn Picci, and Ashley Pagliarini,\u201d McCann said. \u201cIt was heartwarming to have the support of these young women and to be part of their overall collegiate experience, the academic successes, and the hockey achievements.<\/p>\n


\n\u201cWe have great balance in our program; about 75 percent of our players maintain a 3.0 grade point average while playing 32 games a season,\u201d the coach said. \u201cTo get an honor like this, many things have to come together, the chemistry of players and the willingness of players and coaches to work together. I couldn\u2019t become coach of the year without special players being behind me.\u201d<\/p>\n
