US EditionMax Plante leads Bulldogs contingent of Hobey hopefuls
Minnesota Duluth leads with four players among top Hobey Baker contenders as Max Plante tops NCAA scoring with 38 points through 24 games.
- Earlier this month, University of Minnesota Duluth forward Max Plante became the Hobey Baker favorite, leading the NCAA in scoring through 24 games.
- UMD's depth and special teams, with a 33.7% power play and 88.2% penalty kill, support at least four players who could reach this year's top-10 Hobey finalists.
- Among supporting players, Shaugabay and Hanson stand out as Jayson Shaugabay, UMD sophomore forward, leads the nation with 25 assists through 24 games while Ty Hanson, UMD sophomore defenseman and alternate captain, posts 24 points and heavy minutes.
- Fans can cast votes from the 87-player list by text or at hobeybaker.com/vote, with fan balloting second phase running March 18–29 before the March Top 10 and April 2 Hobey Hat Trick announcement.
- A strong finalist count would add to UMD's record, which includes an NCAA-record six Hobey winners and four potential top-10 finalists when coaches submit their top-three lists.
