LAKE FOREST, IL (03/29/2012)(readMedia)-- The Lake Forest College Athletic Department held its annual Winter Sports Awards Ceremony on Sunday, March 25, at the First Presbyterian Church in Lake Forest. Among the many awards given out were plaques for each sport's Most Valuable and Most Improved Performers.

Junior forward Thomas Bark (Toronto, Ontario/Streetsville Derbys/St. Joseph's) was selected as the Most Valuable Player of the Forester men's hockey team for the second year in a row. Freshman Bobby Barrett (Grosse Pointe Park, Mich./Lasalle Vipers/Grosse Pointe South) was chosen as the team's Most Improved Player. Bark was second on the team with 18 points and led Lake Forest with 14 assists. He even saw action as a defenseman when the team was decimated with injuries at that position late in the season. Barrett did not debut with the team until November 26 and played in 17 of the last 21 games. All seven of his points on the season were recorded during the final eight contests.

Lake Forest finished the season with a 5-22 overall record. The Foresters lost in the quarterfinals of the Midwest Collegiate Hockey Association.
