Five UD Hockey players were recognized by the ACC Hockey League at the conclusion of the 2025-26 season, as the Blue Hens collected hardware across three award categories.
Jacob Snellenburg earned ACCHL Goalie of the Year honors after a standout campaign in net. The fifth-year senior from Meadowbrook, PA went 14-9-3 in 26 appearances, posting a 2.97 goals-against average and a .908 save percentage with two shutouts. It was the capstone of a decorated career that saw him make 2,654 career saves across 98 games in Blue and Gold.Â
Austin Vecchio and Jacob Snellenburg were named to the 1st Team All-Conference. In his first season at the D1 level after three years on the D2 roster, Vecchio posted 16 goals and 14 assists for 30 points in 33 games — a breakout performance that made the jump impossible to ignore.
