All 13 eligible Colorado College first-year hockey players were recognized for excellence in the classroom during the 2025-26 academic year and added to the National Collegiate Hockey Conference's Honor Roll. Eleven of the 13 were also named NCHC Distinguished Scholar-Athletes.

Freshmen and first-year transfers were not eligible when the honors were first announced in February, as they had not completed a full academic year, but with the 2025-26 academic calendar complete, the newcomers are now eligible to earn NCHC academic honors.
 
With the newcomer additions, all 27 players eligible from CC's 2025-26 roster earned a spot on the Honor Roll, the most among the 10 teams in the NCHC. With the 11 added as NCHC Distinguished Scholar-Athletes, CC's total of 23 tied for the most in the league. Rising sophomore Mats Lindgren was not eligible as he only completed half of the academic calendar after joining the team during winter break.  
 
The players added to the Honor Roll were Wilson Björck, Beckham Dempsey, Connor Hvidston, Shane Kozlina, Brandon Lisowsky, Matteo Mann, Mateo Mrsic, Tomas Mrsic, Colton Roberts, Brayden Schuurman, Merril Steenari and Jackson Unger, and first-year transfer Seth Constance.
 
In addition, Björck, Constance, Dempsey, Hvidston, Lisowsky, Mateo Mrsic, Tomas Mrsic, Roberts, Schuurman, Steenari and Unger were named NCHC Distinguished Scholar-Athletes.
 
To be eligible for the NCHC Honor Roll, a student-athlete must compile a 3.0 cumulative grade-point average (or better) and have completed a full academic year at their current institution. Similarly, for NCHC Distinguished Scholar-Athletes, a student-athlete must attain a 3.5 cumulative GPA or better with a full year of academic studies.
 
In all, 209 NCHC student-athletes made the 2025-26 Honor Roll, as 113 sophomores, juniors and seniors were recognized in February. Along with that, 153 student-athletes overall were tabbed NCHC Distinguished Scholar-Athletes this past season.
