Countdown to Hobey:

Frozen Four Tampa (2016)

April 5, 2016 

THE HOBEY BAKER MEMORIAL AWARD ANNOUNCED TODAY THE 2016 RECIPIENT OF COLLEGE HOCKEY’S TOP INDIVIDUAL PRIZE IS JIMMY VESEY FROM HARVARD UNIVERSITY.

The announcement came during the NCAA Frozen Four championship in a live ceremony held at historic Tampa Theatre in Tampa, Florida and aired nationally on NHL Network.

For Vesey (pronounced VEE-zee), the second time is a charm as he was a Hobey Hat Trick finalist a year ago when he led the nation in goal scoring. Two is a prominent number for the senior captain of the Crimson. For two straight years Vesey has been named ECAC Player of the Year, Ivy League Player of the Year, ECAC First Team all-conference and winner of the Walter Brown Award as the best American-born player in New England.
