Eleven Pioneer student-athletes, including several hockey players, were honored at the University of Denver’s 83rd annual Pioneer Awards Ceremony held in the Governor’s Ballroom in the Driscoll Student Center on May 15.

The highlight of the annual awards ceremony is the naming of “The Pioneers” – individuals whose dedication to the University of Denver and its students is beyond measure. Ten students, one faculty and one staff member were selected as Pioneer Award recipients this year, including a trio of senior student-athletes. Volleyball’s Alyssa Hampton, hockey’s Peter Mannino and Nordic skier John Stene received Pioneer Awards this year.

Hockey player Zach Blom was named the Outstanding Senior. Matt Glasser and co-captain Tyler Ruegsegger were nominated for the Outstanding Sophomore awards.

Hockey senior captain Andrew Thomas received the Managerial Leadership Award from the Daniels College of Business.
