The first attachment provides an excellent recent look at the potential college hockey brackets. Not surprisingly, we’ll have the chance to watch many Hobey Baker Award candidates in the tournament.
The second attachment is a listing of the top 10 Hobey Baker hopefuls this season per the NHL.com. Among other NHL prospects, this list contains Washington prospect Ryan Leonard of Boston College & Tampa Bay prospect Isaac Howard of Michigan State. While Leonard’s exploits were on full display at this year’s world juniors, Howard has been excellent for the Spartans as well. This led to the inclusion of both Leonard & Howard on Craig Button’s list of top 50 affiliated prospects (Leonard at #2 & Howard at #43).
The third attachment is a link to my website post last week discussing Button’s list further. In that post, I indicated Howard may be in line for the Hobey Baker this season.
