Ostrander Named 2016 All-New York City Ice Hockey Player of the Year

Varsity hockey captain Brian Ostrander '16 was chosen as the 2016 All-New York City Ice Hockey Player of the Year by MSG Varsity. Reporter Dylan Butler wrote, "A two-time All-New York City first team selection, Ostrander led Xavier in goals (31), assists (23) and points (54) and graduates as a three-year champion and the school’s all-time leading scorer with 161 points. The senior co-captain, who scored the tying goal in Game 2 of the CHSHL ‘B’ finals, was a true leader on and off the ice.”
