COLUMBUS, Ohio – For the second time in his career, Ohio State men’s hockey forward Mason Jobst has been named a CCM/AHCA Second Team West All-American. The All-America teams were announced by the American Hockey Coaches Association during the “Friday Night at the Frozen Four” awards event in Buffalo.
Jobst, from Speedway, Indiana, is the second Buckeye to earn All-America honors twice, joining forward Hugo Boisvert who was a first team selection in 1998 and a second team honoree in 1999.
In all, 25 players were named to the 2019 All-America teams as selected by members of the AHCA, with Jobst one of six forwards (one of three from the Big Ten) on the west squad.
Jobst, a two-time captain for the Buckeyes, was also a 2019 Hobey Baker Award finalist, the fifth in Ohio State history. In 2018-19, Jobst led the Buckeyes with 17 goals and 36 points, was a finalist for Big Ten Player of the Year and earned First Team All-Big Ten accolades. He agreed to terms with the New York Islanders on a two-year, two-way, entry-level contract beginning in 2019-20.
Wednesday, Jobst was named one of five finalists for the Big Ten Medal of Honor, given to the top senior male and female student-athlete on each Big Ten campus. A real estate and urban analysis major who will graduate this spring, he is a three-time Ohio State Scholar-Athlete and two-time Academic All-Big Ten honoree.
Jobst had 164 points in his 150-game Buckeye career, leading all 2018-19 NCAA skaters in career points, while he is tied for first with 95 assists and ranks third with 69 goals. He is one of just 21 NCAA skaters with 150 points since 2013-14 and is eighth (tied) in points over that span. He is tied for 12th in Ohio State history in career points with the most since 1989.
He is just the fourth Big Ten player – and the first Buckeye – to earn First Team All-Big Ten honors twice (2017, ’19). Jobst also earned Second Team All-B1G accolades in 2018 and is the second Ohio State player, the first since Paul Tilley in 1977, ‘79 and ’80, to earn three first/second team all-conference honors. Jobst was the 2017 co-Big Ten scoring champion, as well as a 2016 Big Ten All-Freshman Team selection.
Jobst ended his conference career as the Big Ten record holder in career goals (48) and points (108) and tied for first in career points per game (1.24), the most for a four-year player, while ranking second with 60 assists. The previous point record was 86, while the goal record was 36 and the assist mark was 57.
The Buckeyes improved a spot in the Big Ten standings each year during Jobst’s career, culminating this season with the first Big Ten regular season title in program history and the first for Ohio State since 1972. He sealed the championship, scoring on a breakaway in 3×3 overtime at Michigan Feb. 23.
Jobst and the Buckeyes made three straight NCAA Tournament appearances, including a trip to the Frozen Four in 2018. He was part of the second Ohio State senior class to earn three NCAA bids, while the Frozen Four berth was the second in program history and first since 1998.
Jobst’s 2019 honor is the 12th AHCA First or Second Team All-America award for the Buckeyes. Junior forward Tanner Laczynski was recognized last year, giving the squad an honoree for a program-best three consecutive years.
The Buckeyes’ AHCA First Team All-Americans are forwards Ryan Dzingel (2014), Boisvert (1998) and Paul Pooley (1984) and goalie Brady Hjelle (2013). Joining Jobst as second team selections are forwards Laczynski (2018), Zac Dalpe (2010), RJ Umberger (2003), Boisvert (1999) and Perry Pooley (1984) and goalie Jeff Maund (1999).
An All-American … again!
