Brett Smith, a 2007 graduate, remains the first (and only) four-time First Team All-Conference selection in Saint Anselm men's ice hockey history. Competing as a defenseman, Smith earned back-to-back Defensive Player of the Year honors from the NE10 as the Hawks won four Regular Season Championships and two postseason titles in his tenure.

Bursting onto the scene in 2003, Smith captured the NE10 Rookie of the Year award and was a finalist for the prestigious Joe Concannon Hockey Award in 2006 after leading all ECAC East student-athletes with 21 power-play points (6-15=21). In total, Smith helped the Hawks to a 68-35-6 record (.651) which stands as the winningest four-year stretch in team history.

A three-time ECAC East All-League selection, Smith earned First Team honors twice (2005-06, 2006-07). He was a key part of the program's longest winning streak, a 10-game stretch from Nov. 27, 2004 through Jan. 14, 2005, and set what was the program record with 108 career games played. One of the most recent joiners of the 100 career point club, he finished with 35 goals and 69 points (35-69=104).
