Already accepted into law school, Spellacy is the first Husky to receive the award
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – Former St. Cloud State Men's Hockey forward Aidan Spellacy (Lakewood, Ohio) was selected as the recipient of the 2023 National Collegiate Hockey Conference (NCHC) Postgraduate Scholarship, as announced on Monday. Spellacy, who plans to attend law school, is the first Husky to win the scholarship in its eight-year existence.
In May, the two-year Husky completed his Master of Business Administration (MBA) from St. Cloud State University, finishing with a 3.93 grade-point-average in management and leadership. Before coming to SCSU, Spellacy played at Robert Morris University in Pittsburgh, where he received his undergraduate degree in August of 2021. He received his Bachelor of Science in Business Administration (BSBA) at RMU with a 3.88 GPA while majoring in marketing.
Spellacy has already been accepted to Cleveland State University's College of Law, where he will begin working toward his Juris Doctorate in the fall of 2023 or fall of 2024.
"The NCHC is proud to present Aidan with this year's postgraduate scholarship. Having already completed two degrees with plans for a Juris Doctorate is quite impressive," said NCHC Commissioner Heather Weems. "Aidan's commitment to education and his future career shows he's a more-than-deserving recipient. Knowing Aidan from my time at St. Cloud State, I am confident he will work hard and be a great asset to the legal profession."
"I am committed to attending graduate school, specifically law school, because I believe this is the necessary path to set myself up to achieve my goals. I am passionate about social justice and believe that the legal profession is one of the most powerful options to affect real change in our society," Spellacy wrote in his scholarship nomination. "Through law school, I will have the opportunity to learn from veteran legal professionals who come from all different walks of life. Law school is also a time for me to find my legal niche and explore which type of law I am most passionate about, whether it be in public offices, criminal justice reform, or environmental law. A law degree will give me the credibility and confidence to bring about real change."
Spellacy was named an NCHC Distinguished Scholar-Athlete this season with a GPA north of 3.5. On the ice in 2022-23, he served as an assistant captain for the Huskies, scoring four goals and tallying 12 points in 35 games, while helping lead SCSU to the Frozen Faceoff title. In his first season with the Huskies in 2021-22, Spellacy dished out an assist in 19 games, with SCSU making the NCAA Tournament in both of his seasons. In three seasons at Robert Morris, he tallied 33 points in 91 games, also serving as an assistant captain as a junior.
Off the ice, Spellacy volunteered with the Frost Bites Special Olympics floor hockey team in St. Cloud, helping coach practices on a weekly basis throughout the 2022-23 season. In the summer of 2022, he served as a marketing intern for ReadySet Surgical in Cleveland, Ohio, while in the summer of 2021 he worked as a financial representative for Northwestern Mutual in Ann Arbor, Mich.
