Suderman Becomes Eighth Cobber All-American

MOORHEAD, Minn. (3/24/14)—Concordia senior captain Caleb Suderman can add another title before his name. Suderman became the program's eighth All-American as he was named to the American Hockey Coaches' Association (AHCA) All-American First Team.


Suderman becomes only the fifth Cobber player to earn AHCA All-American First Team honors and first since Bryan Howard won back-to-back first team honors in 1999-2000 and 2000-01. He is one of only four players from the MIAC this season to be named to the All-American First or Second Team.
