ONE finalist from the NCHC. Numbers three, four, six, nine, and ten in PWR; one Hobey finalist. 

 

Biggest Snubs?
Ethan Frank, WMU, national leader in goals
Ronnie Attard, WMU, but hey, the USOC/USA Hockey snubbed him for Beijing too ... 
< your nominations here >

Agreed, but Jake Sanderson didn't play enough games. It is too bad because he is the best player in college hockey. 

Oh for sure.
When you miss half the season (or more), it's easy to be excluded from awards.
Just shows how great UND did in his absence that they were still successful despite him missing so many games.
Now we just have to hope he's not injured again...  :(

I haven't seen some of the candidates play. That being said, I'd vote for Brink: national leader in scoring, plays hard all over the ice, appears to be a classy kid off the ice, helps his team win. 

You're just trying to suck up to @Goon by praising his nephew. ;)

No forward has put up dominating numbers, so it seems pretty open, especially given a couple of the netminding performances.  Sadly, the way was paved for Sanderson, if not for the Olympics and injuries.

First thoughts: 

The Eastern goalie votes may well get split between Levi and Perets.   

The MSU votes also may get split between McKay and Smith.  

Past Hobey awards seem to have included a factor rewarding Seniors who stayed in college and so McKay would fit that bill.

I can see Bobby Brink getting a lot of play from voters who saw a lot of NCHC play.

There must be a typo - nobody from UMD?  WTH?

In all seriousness, I would probably vote for Brink. Another reason: playing in the toughest conference, he doesn't get to pad his numbers against cupcake competition. Now, it would hurt to vote for a Pioneer, so there's that.

He's a good kid, and has his father's athletic prowess. He's got Burton blood, so he was blessed with the family eyebrows.

I think that he's probably going to be in the Hobey Hat Trick, it's a shame there are no other NCHC players in the Final 10.
