BLOOMINGTON, Minn. – Four members of the St. Olaf men's hockey team collected accolades in the release of the 2025-26 Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (MIAC) Men's Hockey Awards on Wednesday.

Seniors Jonathan Panisa and Gunnar Johnson earned All-MIAC honors, first year Hunter Hayes was an Honorable Mention All-MIAC selection, and first year Connor Jensen landed on the MIAC All-Playoff Team in the year-end awards. This year marked the fourth season in a row that St. Olaf had multiple student-athletes named to the All-Conference Team.

Panisa closed out his career with his second consecutive All-MIAC accolade after recording 12 points on seven goals and five assists in 14 conference games this winter. Within the MIAC, he finished sixth in shots per game (3.71), eighth in shots (52), tied for ninth in goals (7) and goals per game (0.50), tied for 18th in points, and 20th in points per game against conference foes.

Johnson earned his first All-MIAC award after playing a key role on the blue line to help the Oles finish third in the conference by holding MIAC opponents to an average of 2.44 goals per game. Johnson finished fourth among MIAC defensemen in assists (7) in conference play while ranking tied for 20th with 15 blocked shots.

Hayes was one of five first years in the conference to secure All-MIAC or Honorable Mention All-MIAC honors after leading St. Olaf with 13 points – six goals and seven assists – in 16 conference games. Hayes was also tied for second on the team with a +5 rating in MIAC play.

Jensen represented St. Olaf on the MIAC All-Playoff Team after tallying his first collegiate goal in the Oles' 5-2 loss at Bethel University in the quarterfinals.

St. Olaf finished the season 12-9-5 overall and made the MIAC Playoffs for the program-record fifth season in a row in its first year under head coach Tyler Lindstrom.
