Heise wins Big Ten Medal of Honor, named Athlete of the Year;
GWH honored as U. of M. Women's Team of the Year
We send our congratulations to Gopher Women's Hockey fifth-year forward Taylor Heise, who earned two major honors during last night's Golden Goldys ceremony, the annual U. of M. Athletics Department internal event recognizing outstanding performances throughout the year.
Heise was joined by Gopher Football's John Michael Schmitz as the 2023 Big Ten Medal of Honor recipients. The Big Ten Medal of Honor is awarded annually to a top female and male student-athlete at each conference institution, with this year's honor marking the 109th anniversary of the award. The conference's most exclusive award was the first of its kind in intercollegiate athletics to recognize academic and athletic excellence.
Additionally, Heise earned the Golden Goldy award as the Women's Athlete of the Year after earlier honors as First Team All-American, First Team All-USCHO, WCHA Forward of the Year, All-WCHA First Team, WCHA All-Tournament Team and finalist for WCHA Player of the Year. Heise ranked first in the nation with 30 goals, second with 67 points and third with 37 assists.
We further congratulate the entire Gopher Women's Hockey team on earning the Golden Goldy award as Women's Team of the Year after winning their 8th WCHA Tournament Championship and appearing in the 2023 NCAA Frozen Four!!
We provide one final shoutout to all the U. of M. student-athletes and teams earning Golden Goldy awards at last night's ceremony. Congratulations, all!!
