Eight Falcons Earn All-WIAC Recognition; Ingram Named Player & Newcomer of the Year

MADISON, Wis. — The Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (WIAC) announced its 2025-26 Men's Hockey postseason awards on Wednesday, March 11, with eight Falcons represented, including Player of the Year and Newcomer of the Year honors for freshman forward Keenan Ingram.

Keenan Ingram becomes the first player in WIAC history to earn both Player of the Year and Newcomer of the Year honors in the same season, and just the second Falcon to receive each award. Former UWRF standouts Christian Hausinger was named Player of the Year in 2020, while Vilho Saariluoma earned Newcomer of the Year honors in 2021.

Ingram led the league with 43 points, including 26 goals and nine power-play tallies. He recorded three hat tricks during the regular season and earned WIAC Player of the Week honors twice. His 43 points are the most by a Falcon since former All-American TJ Dahl totaled 43 in 2007-08, while his 26 goals rank fourth in program history and are the most by a Falcon since 1990.

Ingram, Luke Margenau, and Gavin Middendorf were selected to the First Team, while Alex Atwill, Brennan Boynton, Ben Portner, and Cole Teleki were Honorable Mentions. UWRF's combined total of seven All-WIAC selections is tied for the most in program history. 

Additionally, team captain Max Collette was named to the All-Sportsmanship Team.
