Tom represents everything that a coach wants in his players. For the last two years, he was a standout performer on the ice for us. Not surprisingly, he was voted captain by his teammates for this season. Unfortunately, he suffered a broken leg early in the season and has not been able to play. It would have been easy for Tom to feel sorry for himself and distance himself from the team. Contrary to that, he has become an incredible asset to the team with his tremendous support and help for his teammates. He is a positive voice in the locker room and has really taken on the role of a coach. Mostly, Tom has demonstrated his grit and determination to overcome a setback and has served as a great example to everyone on the team. We are happy that he is our 2024 Hobey Baker Award winner.
