Northeastern graduate forward Alina Mueller (Winterthur, Switzerland) has been awarded the 2023 Cammi Granato Award as Hockey East Player of the Year. It is the third time Mueller has been so honored, setting a new standard of excellence during a Hockey East career.

Mueller rewrote the record books during 2022-23, leading the league with 40 points on 15 goals and 25 assists in 27 conference games to become Hockey East’s all-time leading scorer at 176 points and all-time assists leader with 108. Her 25 helpers tied for eighth-most in a single season in Hockey East history. No player scored more game-winning goals in Hockey East play than Mueller’s six, helping Northeastern to its fifth regular season crown. Overall, Mueller’s 55 points and nine game-winning goals are the most of any league player. She finished with a plus-43 on-ice rating and won 55.7% of her faceoffs. Last week, Mueller was named as the lone unanimous selection to the All-Hockey East First Team and as the runner-up for the PNC Bank Three Stars Award. In the Hockey East quarterfinals, she became the all-time career tournament points leader (30) with a three-goal, two-assist performance. She was also named Hockey East Player of the Week four times in 2022-23. It is Mueller’s third Cammi Granato Award, tying Kelli Stack’s record during her tenure with Boston College.
