2020-21: Hrenak was once again one of the top goalies in the NCHC during the 2020-21 regular season and was near impossible to beat during the team's NCAA Tournament run. The senior netminder was named the NCAA Northeast Region's Most Valuable Player after surrendering just three goals in two games against Boston University and Boston College. Additionally, Hrenak became the school record holder for career shutouts in 2020-21 and tied the program record for career goalie wins, as he tallied his 66th career win in a 5-4 victory over Minnesota State at the Frozen Four. He closed his fourth season with the Huskies with an overall record of 12-8-0, 661 saves and a 2.66 goals against average.
