Sophomore defenseman Kent Anderson, freshman defenseman Boston Buckberger, junior goaltender Matt Davis, junior forward Carter King and freshman forward Alex Weiermair were the Pioneers that were recognized by the AHCA for their excellence in the classroom. Overall, 38 players from the National Collegiate Hockey Conference were honored, with the DU's five honorees tied for the second-most in the league.
 
To qualify, a student-athlete must have attained at least a 3.75 grade-point average for each semester or quarter and appear in 40 percent of the team's games. Exceptions were granted to injured players and backup goaltenders.

Buckberger and Weiermair were each recognized as DU Athletics' Scholar-Athletes of the Year for having the highest grade-point average in the school's freshmen class.
 
Each of those five players were also named to the NCHC Academic All-Conference Team and were awarded as the NCHC Distinguished Scholar-Athletes.
