Men's Hockey Team Awards

Green B. Williams Award
The award is named in memory of Green B. Williams III, a native of Amherst, Mass., who majored in business administration and was a goaltender at RIT from 1973 to 1977. While at RIT, Williams received the RIT Hockey Outstanding Senior Award in 1977 and the Coaches Award for Outstanding Contribution to the RIT hockey team in 1976. Six years after graduation, Williams joined the Air Force and was training to be a pilot. On March 21, 1984, with a month left in pilot training and eight days shy of his 28th birthday, Williams was killed in a mid-air collision during a training exercise. The award is given to the player with the best grade-point average on the team.
