Big Ten Men's Ice Hockey Freshman of the Year
# Big Ten Men's Ice Hockey Freshman of the Year

The Big Ten Freshman of the Year is an annual award given out at the conclusion of the Big Ten regular season to the best freshman in the conference as voted by a media panel and the head coaches of each team.

The Freshman of the Year was first awarded in 2014 and is a successor to the CCHA Rookie of the Year which was discontinued after the conference dissolved due to the 2013–14 NCAA conference realignment.
