Happy St. Patrick's Day: Unofficial 2013-14 NESCAC All-Irish Teams

It's back, the NESCAC All-Irish (last names) team. To celebrate a routine Catholic holiday turned de facto Irish Heritage Day in America, as well as it being awards season in college hockey, we again present the NESCAC men's hockey All-Irish (last names) Teams for the 2013-14 season.  For information on the Irish origin of these players' last names, whether they are actually Irish or not, check out House of Names.

Our apologies to those players that are of Irish heritage but don't have Irish last names or a player's inclusion if he is not in fact of Irish origin but has a last name that could be Irish. Selection is based on a complex algorithm balancing performance in the 2013-14 season with Irish-ness of name. 

This should go without saying, but these honors are completely unofficial and the conference has absolutely nothing to do with them.
