DU Hockey’s Davis, Devine Land CSC Academic All-America Nods

Matt Davis earns second-team honors while Jack Devine adds third-team recognition

DENVER – Two University of Denver hockey players have been named to the 2024-25 CSC Men's Division I Academic All-America At-Large Team, College Sports Communicators announced on Wednesday.
 
Seniors Matt Davis and Jack Devine each landed their first career CSC Academic All-America honors with Davis collecting second-team recognition and Devine picking up a place on the third team.
 
Together, they won two NCAA national championships in their first three seasons at Denver and added a third Frozen Four appearance in 2024-25 to close out their collegiate careers. In their four years on the DU roster, they helped the Pioneers to 124 wins, two Penrose Cups and four Gold Pan trophies.
 
Davis held a 3.96 GPA on his way to receiving a bachelor's degree in finance in June 2025. During his final year with the Pioneers, he was named a semifinalist for the 2025 Richter Award presented to the nation's top goaltender. He finished the season with a 29-10-1 record – the most wins of any goaltender in the country and the second most in program history – a .924 save percentage and 2.07 goals-against average.
 
The 2024 NCAA Frozen Four Most Outstanding Player ends his career as one of the most successful goaltenders in Denver history, ranking in the top five all-time for career wins (63) and goals-against average (2.13), and in the top 10 for career save percentage (.921).
 
This season's CSC Academic All-America award joins an established list of academic honors for the Calgary, Alberta, native, who also finishes as a three-time AHCA All-American Scholar, a four-time NCHC Academic All-Conference Team member and a four-time NCHC Distinguished Scholar-Athlete.

Devine graduated with his bachelor's degree in finance in June 2025 with a 3.72 GPA. He led the NCAA in points (57) and assists (44) during the 2024-25 season and was a top-10 finalist for the Hobey Baker Award for the second year in a row.
 
A two-time AHCA (West) First Team All-American and two-time All-NCHC First Team member, he finishes his time in Denver as the program's leading scorer in the modern era with 163 career points (57 goals and 106 assists) and is one of 10 players in program history to end his career with at least 50 goals, 100 assists and 150 points.
 
In each of his four years at DU, he collected NCHC Academic All-Conference Team and NCHC Distinguished Scholar-Athlete honors.
 
Devine was a seventh-round draft pick by the Florida Panthers in 2022 and has signed a three-year, entry-level contract with the club. Following the end of the 2024-25 season, Davis signed a one-year contract with the San Jose Barracuda.
 
The duo become the seventh and eighth players in program history to earn Academic All-America status. This marks the first time that Denver has had multiple hockey players land on the CSC Academic All-America teams in the same season.
 
Denver student-athletes combined for nine CSC Academic All-America Team appearances in 2024-25, the most in a single season in school history and topping the previous record of six set just last season.
 
DU has now had at least one CSC Academic All-American in each of the last five years and in 11 of the last 12. Over the last two academic years, Denver has boasted 15 combined honors.
 
The CSC Academic All-America Teams honor the top student-athletes in the nation based on their combined athletic and academic performances. The Academic At-Large teams are open to student-athletes from fencing, golf, gymnastics, hockey, lacrosse, rifle, skiing, volleyball, water polo and wrestling. Nominees must hold at least a 3.50 cumulative GPA and have met participation requirements as determined by each sport.
