Marian University NCAA men’s hockey had a pair of student-athletes earn all-conference recognition from the NCHA.

Junior Noah Pickart (Fond du Lac, Wis.) earns his first All-NCHA pick after being one of the top defenseman scorers in the conference.  Pickart finished the season with two goals and 18 assists putting him second in the NCHA for points and assists among defenseman.  He opened the season with a dramatic overtime game-winner against Bethel as part of a multi-point game.  Pickart had three other multi-point games posting multiple assists against Aurora, MSOE, and Lake Forest.  From the nine conference series, he was held to one or fewer points in only three of them.  Through 56 career games, Pickart ranks ninth all-time for defenseman assists with 36 and has 44 total points.  Pickart becomes the first Marian defenseman to earn all-conference honors since Gianni Mangone after the 2016-17 season.  He adds this award after earning All-NCHA Frehman recognition in 2022-23.

Freshman Tyler Fromolz (Waupun, Wis.) was named to the All-NCHA Freshman squad for his work in goal.  Fromolz went 5-10-0 on the season with 378 total saves and a 3.85 goals-against average.  He posted at least 30 saves in five games including a season-high 48 saves in an overtime defeat against No. 4/5 St. Norbert.  In another overtime defeat, Fromolz stopped 37 shots against No. 6/8 Adrian.  One of his top performances came in the opener against Lake Forest where he allowed just one goal and made 28 saves.  Fromolz becomes the first Sabre goaltender to earn an All-Freshman spot since Jason Jadczak after the 2005-06 campaign.
