SCHENECTADY, N.Y.—Union College hockey senior Theo Di Pauli von Treuheim has been named a 2016 Senior CLASS Award Second-Team All-American, as announced Friday morning.

An acronym for Celebrating Loyalty and Achievement for Staying in School®, the Senior CLASS Award focuses on the total student-athlete and encourages students to use their platform in athletics to make a positive difference as leaders in their communities.

Di Pauli von Treuheim joins former Dutchmen Cole Ikkala '14 and Stéphane Boileau '11 as the only three Union men's hockey student-athletes to earn Senior CLASS Award Second-Team All-American honors. Matt Cook '09 was a first team honoree and Daniel Ciampini '15 received honorable mention.

A Bioengineering major, Di Pauli von Treuheim owns a 3.97 grade point average. He was the 2014-15 Union Athletics Junior Scholar-Athlete of the Year, and he has received the team's Thomas Van Arden Award for the highest GPA in each of his previous three seasons. A two-time ECAC Hockey All-Academic honoree, he received the Barry Goldwater Scholarship, Tau Beta Pi's Engineering Scholarship, the four-year Michael R. Novack Scholarship, the NSF-REU Fellowship Grant and is also a candidate for the Rhodes Scholarship.

The Downers Grove, Ill. native visited and established friendships with children at the Melodies Center for Childhood Cancer and Blood Disorder at Albany Medical prior to home games and invited them to meet the team after the games. As a role model for Hockey in Harlem, he inspires young, underprivileged inner-city youth hockey players to pursue an education and sport-focused lifestyle.

Di Pauli von Treuheim compiled three goals and an assist in 36 career games.
