(St. Louis, MO) Graduate center Artem Shlaine only needed one single season to leave his mark on Sun Devil Hockey. Shlaine and an elite group of college hockey players were selected 2024-2025 CCM/AHCA Division I All-Americans, as the American Hockey Coaches Association (AHCA) revealed this season’s All-Americans as part of the Hobey Baker Award ceremony and Frozen Four festivities Friday night at the Stifel Theater in St. Louis. The two-way center earned Second-Team West All-America honors.
He becomes only the second Sun Devil in program history to be selected as an All-American by the AHCA. In 2019, then-junior goaltender Joey Daccord (Seattle Kraken, NHL) was the first ASU player awarded the honors.
Shlaine was a spark for the Sun Devils in their first season in the NCHC, helping ASU finish in second place in regular season standings. The New Jersey Devils draft pick totaled 38 points in only 31 games, missing the first six games of the season with an injury. Shlaine racked up 17 goals and 21 assists, with his 1.23 points per game ranking 15th in the NCAA. He was named to the NCHC Frozen Faceoff All-Tournament Team in March, won the NCHC’s Three Stars Award and was a finalist for both NCHC Player and Forward of the Year. Shlaine signed with the Texas Stars in the AHL on March 27.
Shlaine joined four other NCHC skaters recognized with CCM/HCA All-American honors including Denver sophomore defenseman Zeev Buium, DU senior forward Jack Devine, Western Michigan sophomore forward Alex Bump, and North Dakota sophomore defenseman Jake Livanavage, who is the younger brother of Sun Devil Hockey alum Johnny Walker. All five NCHC All-Americans were also named First-Team All-NCHC in 2024-25.
