Connolly's 86-page proposed original business plan was selected as one of two to be honored at this year's banquet.

A three-year member of the Bengals' hockey team, Connolly will graduate this May with a bachelor's degree in business administration. Following graduation, he plans to pursue a master's degree in marketing and business from the University of Wisconsin.
