A University of Delaware ice hockey player has been recognized with one of the sport’s most prestigious character awards.
Graduate student Kaitlin Finnegan was chosen to receive the Atlantic Hockey America Individual Sportsmanship Award for the 2025-26 season, the league announced from Boston. The honor came through voting by head coaches and assistant coaches throughout the conference.
The Blue Hens program also earned recognition at the team level, sharing the Team Sportsmanship Award with another Atlantic Hockey America school.
The individual award recognizes a player who best demonstrates fair play, respect for opponents, and exemplary conduct both on and off the ice throughout the season.
