HAMILTON, N.Y.--Stan Moore, the interim head coach of Colgate University's men's ice hockey team, is one of eight coaches who have been named finalists for the Spencer Penrose Award, given annually to the top coach in Division I.

In order to be a finalist for the award, a coach must either be voted Coach of the Year in their respective conference or taken his team to the NCAA Frozen Four.

Moore was recently named the ECAC Coach of the Year for the second time in his career after guiding the Raiders to a 22-12-5 overall record and the ECAC Regular Season Championship for just the second time in school history.

The award is named in honor of the former Colorado Springs benefactor who built the Broadmoor Hotel Complex, site of the first 10 NCAA Hockey Championships. The award will be presented at the American Hockey Coaches Association Coach of the Year Banquet on Saturday, April 24 in Naples, Fla.

Other finalists include Enrico Blasi of Miami University, Scott Sandelin of the University of Minnesota-Duluth, George Gwozdecky of Denver University, Tom Serratore of Bemidji State, Tim Whitehead of the University of Maine, Paul Pearl of the College of the Holy Cross and Jerry York of Boston College.
