MILTON, Mass. - Sophomore forward Jake Heisinger (Winnipeg, Manitoba) has been nominated for the 2015 BNY Mellon Wealth Management Hockey Humanitarian Award for his work in organizing the First Annual Curry College Teddy Bear Toss to benefit children at the Dana Farber Children's Hospital Cancer Center. 

The award is presented annually to college hockey's finest citizen – a student-athlete who makes significant contributions not only to his or her team, but also to the community-at-large through leadership in volunteerism.

Finalists will be announced in February and the winner will be recognized in a ceremony on Friday, April 10, as part of the Frozen Four in Boston.

"I am very proud of Jake's contribution to the Milton and Boston communities through his efforts in making the Teddy Bear Toss such a successful event. This is another strong example of what our hockey program is all about. We want to be leaders on campus and in the community by striving to win games, do great work in the classroom, and develop as citizens." – Head Coach TJ Manastersky
