Todd Cary, Ryan McIntosh named to TITAN/ACHA
College Division All-America Men's Hockey second team

Cary, a senior forward from Indianapolis, Ind. (Indianapolis Lutheran HS), and McIntosh, a freshman goalie from Calgary, Alberta (Bishop Grandin HS), helped lead the Auggies to the Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference regular-season co-championship, MIAC playoff championship and a fourth-place finish in the NCAA Division III national playoffs.

Cary had team highs of 23 goals, 27 assists and 50 points on the season, and tied a school record with three hat tricks on the year. Cary finished his four-year Augsburg career with 125 points (59 goals, 66 assists) in 97 games.

McIntosh, the only freshman among the 24 players earning All-America honors, finished his first Auggie season with a 14-2-3 record, .917 save percentage and 3.24 goals-against average. McIntosh won 12 games in a row in net during a late-season Augsburg rush to the NCAA playoffs and NCAA
Final Four. The run included a 14-game Auggie winning streak and a 18-1-1 record in 20 games leading up to the Final Four.

The duo bring the list of Augsburg All-Americans to 26 in the 70-year history of the Auggie men's hockey program. The All-American Team is voted on by the American Hockey Coaches Association (AHCA) in NCAA Divisions II and III and is sponsored by Titan.

Augsburg was one of seven teams to receive at least two All-America honorees. Four-time consecutive national champion Middlebury (Vermont) had the most All-America selections, three.

Among other MIAC teams, St. John's senior defenseman Tryg Sarsland and St. Thomas sophomore forward Steve Aronson were named first-team All-America, while St. John's senior forward Matt Erredge was named to the second team. Aronson scored 32 goals and had 25 assists for 57 points during the 1997-98 season. Sarsland, the MIAC Most Valuable Player, completed the 1997-98
season with 13 goals and 37 assists for 50 points, while Erredge led the Johnnies in goals with 33, total points with 60, game-winning goals with five, and tied for third on the team with 27 assists.
