COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – St. Cloud State Men's Hockey junior forward Tyson Gross (Calgary, Alberta) and sophomore forward Austin Burnevik (Ham Lake, Minn.) earned National Collegiate Hockey Conference (NCHC) All-Conference honors, as announced by the league on Thursday. Gross earned first team honors while Burnevik was named to the second team.
Gross becomes the seventh SCSU forward and 12th Husky overall to earn All-NCHC First Team honors while Burnevik earns his second All-NCHC honors after being named to the All-NCHC Rookie Team last season.
Gross has produced a potential All-America campaign, scoring 18 goals and 23 assists for 41 points with seven power play goals, three game-winning goals and two shorthanded goals. The Hobey Baker nominee was named the NCHC Forward of the Week on Feb. 10, leads the NCAA in faceoff wins with 489, was the NCHC goal-scoring champion with 16 goals in conference play and finished second in the points race with 28 points. Gross' 41 points are the most by a Husky since 2018-19 (Patrick Newell, 46) while his 1.21 points per game is the best by a Husky since 2015-16 (Kale Kossila, 1.32). In addition to leading the NCAA in faceoff wins, Gross also ranks fifth nationally in faceoff percentage (.589), 10th in power play goals (seven), 15th in points (41), 22nd in goals (18) and 26th in assists (23). He ranks among the NCHC's top-10 in each of those categories. Gross has scored a goal in 14 of 36 games while scoring a point in 25 of 36 games. He's scored two goals in four games, 2+ assists in six games and 2+ points in 12 games. In the faceoff dot, he's won 10 or more faceoffs in 32 of 36 games, 15+ faceoff wins in 15 games and 20+ wins in two games. He's one of two players in the nation to have multiple streaks of 8+ games with a point. He was named the NCHC Forward of the Week after a four-goal, five-point performance in a series sweep over Arizona State (Feb. 6-7), scoring both game-winning goals with a shorthanded goal in both games. Since 2002-03, he is just the second Husky to have two career instances of 2+ goals in back-to-back games, and the only Husky to shorthanded goals in back-to-back games.
For his career, Gross has scored 34 goals and 52 assists for 86 points in 106 career games. He became the 23rd skater in program history to begin his career with three consecutive 20-point seasons and the 60th in program history to reach 50 career assists.
Burnevik has continued to build his reputation as a scoring machine in his second season with the Huskies, producing 20 goals and 18 assists for 38 points with seven power play goals and three game-winning goals. The Husky sophomore was one of four NCHC skaters to reach 20 goals this season and the 32nd skater in program history to reach the mark in a season. Among conference leaders, he finished the season ranked second in goals (20), fourth in power play goals (seven), eighth in points (38) and ninth in game-winning goals (three). He has recorded a point in 25 of 36 games and at least one goal in 16 games. Burnevik scored a goal in five consecutive games between Oct. 18 and Nov. 1, the longest streak by a Husky since Oct. 20 – Nov. 11, 2023.
In 71 career games, Burnevik has scored 33 goals and 33 assists for 66 points with 13 power play goals and five game-winning goals. In SCSU's 39-year D-I history, Burnevik is just the 11th skater to begin his collegiate career with back-to-back seasons with 25+ points, and the first since Mikey Eyssimont (2015-18).
