Former Portage Terrier Dean Stewart was recently named to the National Collegiate Hockey Conference's Academic Team.

He was selected for his play with the Nebraska-Omaha Mavericks in the NCAA Division 1 league. He finished the season with 7 points in 29 games played, and just seven penalties in the process. The right handed defenseman was recognized for his academic ability at the end of the season.

Stewart was drafted 188th overall by the Arizona Coyotes in last year's NHL Entry Draft.
