St. Paul, MN (Sports Network) - Finalists for the 2004 Hobey Baker Award were
narrowed to three by the Hobey Baker Award Selection Committee. The award is
presented annually to college hockey's most outstanding player.
Goaltender Yann Danis of Brown University, forward Junior Lessard of the
University of Minnesota Duluth and forward Zach Parise of the University of
North Dakota were chosen as the Hat Trick Finalists, as voted by the committee
and fan balloting.
Danis became only the second player in ECAC history to be honored as Player of
the Year and earn the Ken Dryden Award as the league's top goaltender in the
same eason. Danis notched 43 career wins at Brown, tying the school record
set by Kevin McCabe in 1977, and also posted 13 shutouts.
Lessard leads the nation in both points (61) and goals (30) and has helped
Minnesota Duluth advance to the Frozen Four for the first time in 11 years.
Lessard becomes the seventh Bulldog to be named a Hobey Baker finalist.
Parise is the only returning finalist in this year's group of outstanding
players. He ranks third in the NCAA in total points with 55. Parise also took
time off this season to compete with Team USA in the 2004 IIHF World Junior
Hockey Championships, where he was named MVP after leading the tournament in
scoring.
The winner will be announced on April 9.
Colorado College forward Peter Sejna captured the 2003 Hobey Baker Award.
Zach Parise: Hobey Baker finalist!

They'll probably give it to Parise. Judging from his season, why not?
Personally, I would have liked to seen Thomas Pock still nominated

Does that make Parise one of the Children of a Lessard God?

Personally i felt that Pock should have made it and probably won it. When it comes tio importance for his team, Pock just made that Umass team he had an amazing year.
"Jay Pandolfo's last game at Boston University was against the Wolverines," Madden said. "My job was to cover his line. Jay had scored something like 30 goals in 30 games that season. And that was his 31st game. Guess what happened?"
"We always joke about it now," Madden said. "Jay tells me: 'You shut me down that game and you've been shutting me down ever since. The only problem is, now you're playing with me. ' "

Really Sarge? Wow. That's some high praise for Pock. I really like what I see from him. He's been paired with Karel Rachunek and believe me, Rachunek has been responsible for quite a few goals against lately. And yeah, I couldn't blame Pock for most because from what I see, he plays his position soundly in both ends.
This guy looks like a real find.

I can't decide whether I want Yann (or Zach) to win.
I guess I don't believe in curses, so go Yann!

As seen by the meltdown at the end of the year, Danis was basically the only thing holding the Brown team together.Personally i felt that Pock should have made it and probably won it. When it comes tio importance for his team, Pock just made that Umass team he had an amazing year.
