The junior from Lakewood, Ohio, was recently named one of nine finalists for the Mike Richter Award, which goes to the top goaltender in college hockey. Scheel was the only finalist from the NCHC.
The league is expected to announce its major award winners next week. Scheel is a candidate for NCHC goalie of the year.
He wasn't the only UND player to earn a major honor in February.
UND junior forward Jasper Weatherby was named the NCHC's player of the month.
It is the third month in a row that a UND player has earned that honor. Jordan Kawaguchi won it in December and Shane Pinto in January.
Weatherby had six goals and 10 points during five games in February to lead the league.
Weatherby has scored a goal in seven-straight games, matching the longest goal streak of any UND player since Matt Frattin in 2011.
UND closes the regular season at 7:37 p.m. Friday against Omaha. It will begin the playoffs March 12 against Miami in Ralph Engelstad Arena. The time of that game has yet to be announced.
