I am proud to nominate Kaylee Dixon for the Hobey Baker Award as she exemplifies the character, leadership, and work ethic this award represents. As an assistant captain and senior, Kaylee leads by example through her positive attitude, consistency, and commitment to her team.

She is a well-rounded, reliable player who can be trusted in all situations, and her leadership has been evident both on and off the ice throughout this season. Kaylee brings energy and accountability to our program, always supporting her teammates and setting a high standard through her actions.

Beyond her performance, Kaylee’s character stands out. She represents our program with integrity, respect, and humility, always carrying herself with a smile and a positive presence. She is the type of person who makes the locker room better, the culture stronger, and the team closer. Kaylee Dixon is not only an excellent hockey player, but an exceptional young woman—making her a deserving nominee for the Hobey Baker Award.
