Ivan Zivlak named 2025 TMR Men's Hockey Unsung Hero
Senior defenseman Ivan Zivlak has been named the 2025 TMR Unsung Hero award recipient. The Unsung Hero award is given annually to the player whose contributions to the team's success don't always show up in the box score.
Zivlak led the Warriors in blocked shots (54) despite missing three games. He finished third on the team in time on ice (19:14). Zivlak edged out fellow senior defenseman Josef Mysak, who finished +5 on the Warriors this season (leading the team).
Zivlak becomes the first defenseman to win this award since Patrick Holway in 2020. He's the fourth straight senior/grad student to win the award.
The TMR Awards are presented annually by The Mack Report. The men’s hockey awards have been presented since 2007. The men’s basketball awards were instituted in 2022.
