Hockey East announced its season awards on Wednesday. The recipients of the individual awards featured two Boston College players. 

Eagles forward Ryan Leonard earned a pair of honors, the Scoring Title and the Three Stars Award.

Leonard has dominated both the conference and national leaderboard throughout the entire season.

The Washington Capitals prospect is one of multiple players to receive a season award from the conference.
