Pinto made National Collegiate Hockey Conference (NCAA) history by being named both Forward of the Year and Defensive Forward of the Year, the first player to ever win both awards in the same reason.
Earlier in the week, Pinto was unanimously selected to the First-Team All-NCHC team after a dominant season in which he led the conference with 15 goals and 28 points. The 20-year-old led the conference with 11 multi-point games, seven power play goals and 13 power play points, as did his 1.22 point per game average.
His 62 per cent success rate in the faceoff circle also topped the conference, as did his 308 faceoff wins.
Bernard-Docker was selected as the NCHC's Defensive Defenceman of the Year, days after being named to the Second-Team All-NCHC team.
Playing in 24 games, he blocked 31 shots and added two goals and 13 assists as North Dakota won the Penrose Cup for the second straight season as the NCHC's regular season champions.
