Vote Hobey! is a grass-roots effort to “get out the vote” for the Hobey Baker Memorial Award.
The Hobey Baker Memorial Award has been awarded to a college hockey player voted as the “best” player in Division I hockey since 1981, when the first award was presented to Neal Broten, University of Minnesota, based on Hobey award criteria looking for candidates emulating the exceptional character traits exhibited by the award’s namesake, Hobey Baker, a World War 1 fighter pilot and better known then as America’s greatest hockey athlete of his day.
Award candidates must demonstrate strength of character both on and off the ice, contribute to the integrity of their team and display outstanding skills in all phases of the game. Consideration is also given to scholastic achievement and sportsmanship.
