He redefined how the game was played with his coast-to-coast dashes in an era when hockey was contested by seven players and no forward passes.

The Hobey Baker Award criteria includes: displaying outstanding skills in all phases of the game, strength of character on and off the ice, sportsmanship and scholastic achievements.
