Gingras is one of 18 players up for this year's award. He joins Jamie Murray of Babson and Jake Heisinger of Curry as this year's only repeat nominees. Murray was a finalist a year ago.
The Hockey Humanitarian Award is presented annually to college hockey’s “finest citizen” and seeks to recognize college hockey players, male or female, who contribute to local and/or global communities in a true humanitarian spirit.
A neuroscience major and two-time ECAC Hockey All-Academic Team member, Gingras has a 3.89 grade point average and is working on his senior thesis in collaboration with physicians from the Ellis Hospital Bariatric Group, examining underlying genetic factors that drive obesity.
In 2015, he was the recipient of the Dutchmen's Charles N. Morrison Award, which is given yearly to a player who participates in extracurricular activities while showing academic interest and achievement. He also received the Harold and Ellen Nagorsky Memorial Prize, which is awarded to a junior premedical student who contributes the most to the Union College community via extracurricular activities.
The 2016 finalists will be announced in February. The winner will be named on April 8 at the Frozen Four in Tampa, Fla.
