Alumni Update: Guenin receives post-season honors

Former Hornet defenseman Nate Guenin was among several Ohio State players honored over the weekend during the team’s annual awards banquet. Guenin, who was captain this season, was voted the 'Joseph W. Smith Best Defensive Player Award Winner' by his teammates.

The Buckeyes’ captain this season, he was an honorable mention All-CCHA selection and led the Buckeye defense that ranked 12th in the nation, limiting opponents to 2.4 goals a game. He played in all 39 games and had 11 assists on the year to tie for third on the team. As proof of his unselfish, “Team first” attitude, Guenin sacrificed his body 59 times to lead his team in blocked shots. An All-Academic award winner, Guenin will graduate this spring, and will be eligible to sign with the New York Rangers of the NHL.
