Liberty League Men's All-Star Release 2017

Two members of the Golden Knights were chosen as Liberty League First-Team All-Stars, senior midfielder Ryan St. Croix and senior defenseman Justin Gibson. St. Croix, who was chosen as a first-team all-star for the third straight year, struck for 30 goals in 2017, recording 14 of them in conference games. He produced 38 points overall to push his career total to 146, ranking 13th all-time at Clarkson, and his 110 goals place him sixth in Clarkson's history. Gibson earned all-star honors for the first time in his career, leading the Golden Knights defense. Gibson produced 23 groundballs and had a team-high 20 caused turnovers, ranking just outside the top 10 in the conference in that category.

Midfielder Ryan Gabriel was chosen as the Liberty League Rookie of the Year and a Liberty League Second-Team All-Star for his outstanding effort as a faceoff specialist. Gabriel won 182 of his 312 attempts on faceoffs (.583) and was even better in league games where he went 88-for-162 (.605) at the 'x.' Gabriel also ranked among the conference leaders in groundballs, scooping up a team-best 62 on the season to rank in the top five in the league. Joining Gabriel as a Liberty League Second-Team All-Star for the second straight season was senior attackman Ryan DaRin. With 45 goals and 11 assists, DaRin produced 56 total points, ranking second in the conference in goals per game (3.00) and fifth in points per game (3.73). Early on in the season, DaRin became the 27th member of Clarkson's 100-point club, and in the final game of the year he became Clarkson's 10th player to reach 100 career goals. DaRin finished his career with 137 points on 102 goals and 35 assists, finishing 15th all-time at Clarkson.

Four other members of the Golden Knights earned enough votes to gain Liberty League Honorable Mention status. Senior goalkeeper Nick Strandholm was chosen as an all-star for the second time in his career. Strandholm posted a .537 save percentage with a 9.84 goals against average and 29 groundballs. Classmates Kyle Brown and Marc Simmons each were selected as all-stars for the first time in their collegiate careers. Brown put together the best offensive season of his four years at Clarkson, recording 33 points with 26 goals and seven assists, while Simmons scored three goals and ranked third on the team in groundballs with 40 to go along with nine caused turnovers. Freshman defender Liam St. Croix started all 15 games and had 13 groundballs and caused four turnovers to join his three senior teammates as Liberty League Honorable Mention all-stars.
