GRAND FORKS (AP) -- The University of North Dakota men's hockey program has established an award that honors the man widely considered to be the "dean" of college hockey writers.
Head coach Dave Hakstol says the Virg Foss Three-Star Award will be presented annually to the player who accumulates the most three-star selections during the course of a season. Following each UND home game, the three stars of the game are selected by the print media in attendance.
Foss covered Fighting Sioux hockey for the Grand Forks Herald from 1969 until his retirement in 2005 and now covers UND home games for www.FightingSioux.com . He has covered UND and WCHA hockey longer than any other writer.
Foss says it's humbling to have his name linked to UND hockey.
