In the 90s Andrew Wipple started the tradition of UMD’s most dangerous attack player wearing the #1 Jersey. That tradition has evolved to the #1 being worn by the teams most valuable player. There have been nine players who have worn the #1 since Wipple and the last three have been two defenders and a goalie.

This year it will be worn by attackman Eric Spanos. He had 55 goals last year.
