Hobey Baker Memorial Award / Finalists

Hobey Baker Memorial Award

The listing below shows all of the finalists for the Hobey Baker Memorial Award , which is presented annually to the best male college ice hockey player in the United States.

The finalists are currently determined from the votes of the head coaches of all NCAA Division I teams , who each determine the top three players in their league and the entire nation. An online vote on the Hobey Baker Awards website also influences the result.

Before the trophy is awarded, the top ten players in this vote, the finalists, are announced. The Hobey Baker Memorial Award Selection Committee then selects the winner of the trophy from this field. The Committee is composed of the current 27 representatives from the media, coaches, referees and NHL - Scouts together. Since neither the voting results nor the exact ranking of the finalists are published, only the winner and the runner-up of the voting were known until 2001. Since 2002, the field of finalists has been reduced from ten to three players about a week before the winner is announced as part of the Hobey has trick .

So far no player has been nominated for the Hobey Baker Memorial Award in all four years of college. Current record holders are Nelson Emerson , Greg Johnson , Brendan Morrison , Martin St. Louis , Chris Drury and Brian Gionta , who were each in the top ten three times.

Finalists since 1981
