Each year, the ACHA, through a coaches' poll, selects outstanding players from each of its four regions (Northeast, Southeast, Central, and West) to two All-American Teams (1st and 2nd team). The coaches also nominate an All-American MVP and a National Coach of the Year. In addition, the coaches also nominate All-Region Teams (1st, 2nd, and 3rd) as well as an All-Region MVP and a Regional Coach of the Year. SJSU had two players selected to All-Region teams in 2006-2007: senior goaltender Ryan Lowe (2nd team) and senior defenseman Ian Fazzi (3rd team).   The Stich Award is named after San Jose State Hockey founder Steve Stich. It is awarded to the player who has shown the most improvement over the course of the season. The 2006-2007 recipient was freshman defenseman Shawn Hickey.   The Turner Award is named for SJSU Hockey founding member Gordie Turner and is awarded to the most dedicated Spartan. The 2006-2007 recipient was senior center and alternate captain Max Ramsay.   The Gilbert Ip Memorial Trophy is awarded to the season's most valuable player. The 2006-2007 recipient was senior goaltender Ryan Lowe, who took home the award for the second straight year.   The Barney Award is named for 2005 graduate Jon Barney and is awarded to the player deemed the "toughest and most disciplined." The 2006-2007 recipient was senior defenseman Ian Fazzi, who took home the award for the second straight year.
