EASTON, Mass. (June 23, 2025) – Junior
Evan Orr and sophomores
Anthony Galante, Charlie Banquier, and
Dominick Campione of the Stonehill College men's hockey program have been named to the College Sports Communicators (CSC) Academic All-District® Team, as announced by the organization.
To qualify for Academic All-District® honors, student-athletes must have competed in at least 90 percent of their team's games or started at least 66 percent of them. For goaltenders, eligibility requires starting at least 50 percent of a team's contests.
Galante, a semifinalist for the 73rd Walter Brown Award and a DI Independent All-Star Team selection, earns his first CSC Academic All-District® recognition. A finance major with a 3.61 cumulative GPA, Galante led the Skyhawks in scoring with 22 points on 13 goals and nine assists. His 22 points established a new program record for a single season during the Division I era, surpassing the previous mark of 18 set by junior captain
Frank Ireland in 2023–24. Galante also tied for the team lead with four power-play goals and tallied two game-winning goals.
Orr also receives Academic All-District® honors for the first time in his career. The junior defenseman posted a 3.64 GPA while delivering a breakout season on the ice. Named NCAA Division I Independent Player of the Month for January, Orr finished the season with a career-best 15 points, including eight goals and seven assists. His eight goals ranked second on the team, and he led the Skyhawks with five game-winning goals—three of which came in overtime. One of those overtime winners lifted Stonehill to a historic 3–2 victory over No. 9 UMass Lowell, the program's first win over a nationally ranked Division I opponent.
Campione and Banquier round out Stonehill's Academic All-District® selections after each earned a 3.61 GPA while majoring in finance. Campione emerged as one of the team's most productive blueliners, ranking second among defensemen and fourth overall on the squad with 13 points (3 goals, 10 assists). Banquier contributed a career-high 10 points on two goals and eight assists over 31 games and ranked third on the team in blocked shots with 43.
Stonehill's four CSC Academic All-District
® honorees mark the most honorees for the Skyhawks at the Division I level. Stonehill men's hockey improved by 10 wins in its third season at the DI level, capping off the 2024-25 campaign with a 12-22 mark.

From its founding in 1957 until the 2022 name change, the organization was known as College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA).
The name change signaled a significant step in a broader strategic plan to highlight the association's evolution and growth. The move better aligns with the association's membership makeup and further positions the organization to support and advocate for its members who serve in the communications, digital, and creative sports industry, regardless of position or title.
The organization, which celebrated its 65th anniversary during the 2021-22 academic year, is the second-oldest management association in all intercollegiate athletics.
