Cutter Gauthier Named USA Hockey’s Jim Johannson College Player of the Year

COLORADO SPRINGS, CO – Former Boston College men’s hockey forward Cutter Gauthier (Scottsdale, Ariz.) was named USA Hockey’s 2024 Jim Johannson College Player of the Year, as announced by the organization on Wednesday.

Established in 1994 to recognize the accomplishments of the top American-born player in NCAA Division I men’s college hockey, the Jim Johannson College Player of the Year award is presented annually by USA Hockey. In 2019, it was renamed in honor of the late Jim Johannson, who played college hockey at the University of Wisconsin and spent two decades as an executive at USA Hockey.

Gauthier is the fourth player in program history to earn the award, joining the likes of Mike Mottau (2000), Nathan Gerbe (2008) and Johnny Gaudreau (2014).
