"Cody Wydo may just be the best college hockey player you’ve never heard of.
That’s despite the fact that Wydo started the season as the second-leading active goal scorer in the nation behind only one player: Boston College’s Johnny Gaudreau.
Wydo wasn’t named to an all-league team in his sophomore year, despite a 21-goal season. Wydo wasn’t named to the conference rookie team as a freshman, despite 13 goals.
That drought ended this season, when he was named to Atlantic Hockey’s first team.
“I don’t think Cody was given the recognition he deserved until this year,” coach Derek Schooley said as a guest on USCHO Live! last Tuesday.
If Cody Wydo was underappreciated as a major offensive threat in college hockey until just recently, that came to an emphatic end this weekend. Wydo scored four goals and added an assist en route to being named the Atlantic Hockey tournament’s most valuable player.
In the championship game Saturday, Wydo gave his team 1-0 and 2-1 leads early and cemented the victory with Robert Morris’ final goal."
