Ryan Gregory Selected as ACHA All-American

May  1, 2009

Junior goalie Ryan Gregory was recently named as an ACHA Division I 2^nd Team All-American, placing him in an elite group of the best goalies in the country.  Players were chosen by the ACHA Men’s Division I Awards Committee.  Gregory was humble about the honor, and said that he focuses on the team instead of personal accomplishments.

“I still come every day and work the same way that got me here,” Gregory said. “I just go out and play hard.  I want to win every game.”

Freshman goalie Anthony Natali said Gregory’s attitude on the ice makes him a great player.  “He’s laidback when we’re in pressure games,” Natali said.  “But he’s competitive, so it pushes me to play better.”

 Gregory was in net for the ACHA Division I All-Star Game on April 4 in Wooster, Ohio.  He was the only player chosen from Kent State. “It’s great to represent your team,” Gregory said.  “Unfortunately, I was the only one picked, and we’ve got a lot of great players here.” He said the All-Star environment was a chance for guys from across the league to have fun without any pressure. “Everyone was just out there like little kids playing on the pond.”
