Newton resident Marc Hetnik's academic and athletic pursuits were recently recognized at Catholic Memorial.

June 9, 2011
Name: Marc Hetnik
Age: 18
School: Catholic Memorial (West Roxbury)
Accomplishment: Marc Hetnik earned the Edward J. McElaney '62 Commitment to Excellence Award at Catholic Memorial School's 51st commencement exercises on Thursday, May 26. According to a press release issued by Catholic Memorial, Hetnik earned the award for "his devotion to academics and athletics in his time at C.M." Hetnik was one of only eight seniors to receive one of C.M.'s athletic awards. Before heading to Boston University in 2012, Marc will play junior hockey for a year in Canada for the Vernon Vipers in the British Columbia Hockey League.
Key to Awesomeness: Hetnik was CM's hockey captain this winter with four goals and 16 assists. In addition, he was named to the Catholic Conference All-Star team as well as played--and scored for-- the second annual all-star team of the Massachusetts Hockey Coaches Association. Hetnik was a member of the Boston Globe Super Team and the Boston Herald Dream Team for hockey. He was also the 2011 recipient of the Globe's Richard Phelps Scholarship, earning him $3,000 in academic awards.
The Boston Herald recently recognized him as a member of the hockey "dream team," of which there are even fewer than there are All Scholastic players. Hetnik was also captain of the golf team and is the current captain of the lacrosse team.
Hetnik will follow in his father's footsteps on the ice at Boston University. Marc Hetnik, Sr., was a stand-out hockey player there and won a national award with the team in 1978, McGonegal said, according to an article on Boston.com.
Throughout his years at C.M., Marc has excelled not only in athletics, but in the classroom as well. A frequent on the Honor Roll, Marc made honor roll his entire senior year and took many honors-level classes.
