"As an organization, we take a lot of pride in supporting our players with their academics," said head coach Evan Dixon. "We believe that the way you do anything is the way you do everything. That goes for on the ice and in the classroom. We're proud of Caden, Xavier and Hudson for being named to the All-Academic Team and we're proud of all of our Saints scholars for making academics a priority in their day-to-day here in Dubuque."

"We put a strong emphasis on academics in Dubuque," said general manager Trevor Edwards. "Our assistant coaches and education coordinator, JoAnne Gibson, work very hard making sure the players have all the resources necessary to succeed in the classroom."

Led by Gibson, the Saints have consistently seen positive results in the classroom.
