These 20 student-athletes are recognized for their exceptional achievements in community service, athletics and academics. This marks the first-ever expansion of the Good Works Team to include student-athletes from all collegiate sports and divisions.

The final team was voted on by the program’s esteemed Selection Committee from an impressive pool of nearly 200 nominees nationwide. These student-athletes represent nine winter sports and five collegiate divisions, demonstrating the far-reaching impact of student- athletes in their communities.

Lugris, the 2024 Hockey Humanitarian Award winner, has formed a bond with the local sled hockey organization, the State College Coyotes. Dylan began attending weekly practices eventually having teammates join him as he learned more and more about the sport of sled hockey and the Coyotes organization.

In an effort to make a difference for a struggling organization, that only practiced once a week and did not compete in actual games, Dylan came up with the idea of the Penn State Sled Hockey Classic two years ago. His mission is to grow the game of hockey while bringing knowledge and awareness to the sport of sled hockey and to provide the Coyotes the means necessary for organizational growth and competition.

Since the initial Penn State Sled Hockey Classic in February 2023 to now the Coyotes have nearly tripled in size and are proud members of the Northeast Sled Hockey League competing in multiple games per month thanks in large part to the nearly $60,000 Dylan and his Penn State teammates have raised for the Coyotes organization during the past three Penn State Sled Hockey Classic’s.
