The pair were chosen after UMD was picked to finish first in the conference.

ST. PAUL, Minn. – Minnesota Duluth men’s hockey defenseman Scott Perunovich and goalie Hunter Shepard were named to the NCHC All–Conference Preseason Team.

Both players were also named to the All–Conference Team at the end of last season. Perunovich is coming off a stellar freshman year, racking up conference and national Rookie of the Year honors. Shepard was a semi–finalist for the Mike Richter Award, which is given to the most outstanding college goaltender.

The Bulldogs will open their season next Saturday as they host the University of Minnesota.
