Four of the 10 finalists for the Hobey Baker Memorial Award as college hockey's best player competed against UAA this season, and we'll break down how they fared against the Seawolves.
First, though, here are the dudes: Bobby Butler, New Hampshire; Marc Cheverie, Denver; Blake Geoffrion, Wisconsin; Gustav Nyquist, Maine; Mark Olver, Northern Michigan; Chase Polacek, Rensselear; Rhett Rakhshani, Denver; Cody Reichard, Miami of Ohio; Ben Scrivens, Cornell; and Brendan Smith, Wisconsin.
The ten finalists were selected by voting from all 58 Division I college hockey head coaches and by online fan balloting at hobeybaker.com. The winner will be announced March 31.
Cheverie, DU's goalie: Went 1-0-0 against UAA with a 1.44 goals-against average and .940 save percentage.
Rakhshanie, DU's deadly winger: Went 3-2--5 and +2 in four games against the Seawolves.
Geoffrion, the Badger sniper: Went 3-3--6 and +4 in four games against the Seawolves.
Smith, the dynamic Badger defenseman: Went 0-5--5 and +1 in four games against the Seawolves.
Polacek, Rensselaer's center: Bagels against UAA, though he did have five shots -- UAA beat the Engineers, 3-0, at a tournament in Fairbanks.
