This year’s Hobey Baker Award presentation will have a decidedly Boston feel to it. Not only will it take place at Northeastern’s Matthews Arena (at 5 p.m. on Friday, April 10), but the three finalists all have Boston ties.
Boston University freshman forward Jack Eichel (a North Chelmsford native) and Harvard junior forward Jimmy Vesey (a North Reading native) were both named to the Hobey Hat Trick on Thursday, as was Bruins prospect and North Dakota goalie Zane McIntyre.
Eichel, who will likely go second overall in this summer’s NHL draft, leads the country with 67 points (24 goals, 43 assists) and 1.76 points per game. He is looking to become just the second freshman ever to win the Hobey (Maine’s Paul Kariya won it in 1993).
Vesey, a third-round pick of the Nashville Predators in 2012, leads the country in goals (32) and is second in points per game (1.57). He announced earlier this week that he will return to Harvard for his senior seasonrather than sign with the Predators.
McIntyre, whom the Bruins drafted in the sixth round in 2010, is tied for sixth in the country with a .931 save percentage and leads the country with 29 wins. If he wins the award, he would become the first goalie to do so since Michigan State‘s Ryan Miller in 2001.
One of Eichel or McIntyre will get to play for the national championship at TD Garden on Saturday, April 11, as their teams face off in the national semifinals on Thursday, April 9, at 8:30 p.m. Vesey led the Crimson to their firstNCAA tournament appearance since 2006, but they lost to Nebraska-Omaha in the first round.
