Character

Schuldt is the first-ever three-time team captain in the history of SCSU men’s hockey during the team’s Division I era. He is a respected team leader on the ice and in the locker room. A much sought after prospective pro player, Schuldt opted to return for his senior campaign after earning All-America and Hobey Baker Top 10 status in 2017-18.

He is a team-first leader who was the driving force behind SCSU’s NCHC regular season championship in 2017-18 and has played a key role in helping SCSU transition to a new head coach in 2018-19, after the departure of previous Head Coach Bob Motzko at end of the 2017-18 season.

Schuldt’s presence on team has helped the Huskies earn a top five ranking in the latest NCAA DI team poll as of nomination time. An key example of his character is when he was asked to provide information for a potential nomination for the Hockey Humanitarian Award in 2018-19. Schuldt deferred and strongly suggested fellow teammate Jacob Benson as a better candidate for the team in 2018-19.

As of nomination time, he had played in 117 consecutive games during his college career, never missing a game in three years.
