Caufield was named the 2021 Jim Johannson College Player of the Year, presented by Bauer.
The award recognizes the accomplishments of the top American-born player in NCAA Division I men’s college hockey. In 2019, the award was renamed to honor the late Johannson, who was a USA Hockey executive for two decades and a college hockey player for the University of Wisconsin.
It’s not hard to see why the 20-year-old winger is this year’s winner of the award. Caufield was the best in college hockey with 30 goals and 52 points in 31 games in his sophomore season with Wisconsin.
Caufield also finished as Big Ten scoring champion for the second year in a row, was unanimously selected as the Big Ten Player of the Year (24 goals and 43 points in 24 Big Ten games this season) and won the Hobey Baker Memorial Award as the best player in NCAA men’s hockey.
