CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Sophomore forward Sean Farrell earned the Dave Tyler Junior Player of the Year Award, as announced by USA Hockey earlier this week. Farrell, who was enrolled at Harvard while playing for the Chicago Steel of the USHL, recorded the second highest point total in league history, notching 101 points (29 goals, 72 assists) in 53 games.
 
A Montreal Canadiens draft pick, Farrell helped the Steel win the Clark Cup as USHL champions, recording 10 points (two goals, eight assists) in eight playoff games.
 
The Dave Tyler Player of the Year Award is named after Dave Tyler, who was part of the USA Hockey Board of Directors for more than 30 years and helped in the development and growth of junior hockey in the United States. The award is given annually to the best player from a United States-based junior hockey team and is selected by a panel of junior coaches and administrators. 
 
A native of Hopkinton, Mass., Farrell joins a Harvard roster that features 12 drafted players, and returns four of its top seven scorers from the 2019-20 season.
